similar to: mailalias ... not doing anything???

Hello there I''m just testing a module (see merging directories) and it is quite involved, in that it: __generic__ 1) creates a user 2) creates a base directory 3) copies generic files (directory with recursion) 4) generate a configuration file from a template 5) creates a symlink __os specific__ 6) copies os specific files (in my scenario two folders, and an init script) 7)

HI, All our unix boxes under puppet are configured with the ''mailalias'' resource type as in : mailalias { "root": recipient => "linuxroot@fqdn", ensure => present } The majority of those boxes however don''t have /etc/aliases served out by puppet, rather, they simply have the installed default /etc/aliases locally.

$ wc -l /tmp/list 1000 /tmp/list $ rsync -i -aPv --ignore-existing --files-from=/tmp/list /backups/ ut00-s00010:/backups/ building file list ... 3937 files to consider I am totally baffled. That's not such a big deal, but the list I'm *actually* using has twenty *million* files in it. At a couple hundred files a second, if it's going to check 4 times the number of files, that's

Hello there I''m having this error: Could not call fileserver.describe: #<Errno:: ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer> From what i can tell, eventually the master decides it has had enough and freezes. I''ve got about 25 hosts checking in to it, but restarting the master daemon appears to be only a partial solution with the clients occasionally not being able to then

I''m installing puppet from git per instructions in another thread. The instructions given at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/installation.html for installing puppet from source lead to it dumping things all over my Ruby, which I really wasn''t expecting and doesn''t work well with our environment. (1) How do I uninstall it? (2) How do I turn the git source into a gem?

I''m working on a definition for activating/deactivating Apache modules on an Ubuntu system. Inside my Apache class I have this definition: define module($ensure) { case $ensure { enabled: { exec { "a2enmod": command => "/usr/sbin/a2enmod $name", logoutput => on_failure,

Hello All I gather that the number of times the daemon checks in is controlled via runinterval (default 1800 seconds) Further, splay (and splaylimit) sets if a pseudo random time is used before checking in. BUT does splay have any meaning if i can not set when the daemon should attempt to check in? Or can i set the check-in time (i may have just missed the option)? cheers chakkerz

To install the ruby-augeas gem, I installed rubygems on Debian etch, which lead to: Setting up libgems-ruby1.8 (0.9.0-5) ... Setting up ruby1.8-dev (1.8.5-4etch4) ... Setting up rubygems (0.9.0-5) ... Before this (I mean *immediately* before this) puppet worked fine exceept for not being able to find a provider for Augeas. After this, though: ec2-www1:/usr/src# puppetd -t Failed to load

Hi all, hoping someone may have encountered a problem similar to this before: On my customer''s EC2 based infrastructure, we have implemented the nodeless, truth driven module outlined by Jordan Sissel here http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/geekery/puppet-nodeless-configuration. It''s quite an effective model, especially in the realm of EC2... we still have a puppetmaster

I use openLDAP as dovecot pass/user db. here is main part of dovecot-ldap.conf: pass_attrs = mail=user, uid=userdb_home=/home/xadmin/%d/%$,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) default_pass_scheme = SSHA user_attrs = mail=user, uid=home=/home/xadmin/%d/%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(mail=%u)(mailAlias=%u))) It works fine, but some

So, I have a server at home that has four VMs running inside it. All are managed via puppet. The physical host runs puppetmasterd. I don''t recall noticing this before, but puppetmasterd has decided to be kind of crazy. Here''s the physical host with no puppetmasterd running: top - 11:36:15 up 271 days, 15:16, 1 user, load average: 5.68, 5.50, 6.45 Tasks: 129 total, 1

Hi all, I''d appreciate your help improving our understanding of what the community is most looking for from Puppet, how Reductive Labs manages it, and how best to provide services around the project. Toward this end, we''ve created a short survey (it should take you less than ten minutes): http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/95175/q1-2008-puppet-user-survey Please take a few

Hi All, By working on our bootstrap puppet scripts (executed wih standalone puppet), I found a difference between pipe and file parsing : A simple file with a content : $ cat withdollar.pp file { "/tmp/withdoller.txt": content => ''something like echo $1'' } When puppet parses the file : $ puppet withdollar.pp notice:

Hi all, I need my servers to decide which network they are in (i.e. dmz), and the only clue is the servers IP-address. I was trying to accomplish it like this, but it doesn''t work: case $ipaddress { "10.1.1.*": { $network = "net1" } "10.2.2.*.*": { $network = "net2" } "10.3.3.*": {

Greetings, I''m having an issue with my implementation of exported resources. I have a memcache server pool, and want to update the /etc/php.d/ memcache.ini with the ips of all the servers. Previously, I hard coded the $memcacheservers array in the node manifest and the template collected and populated the template. Now that I''m moving to exported resouces, how do I get it to

Over the years many shops have come to start running puppet via cron to address memory leaks in earlier versions of Ruby, but the official position was that puppet was meant to be run as a continually running service. I am wondering if the official position has changed. On one hand many if not all of the early Ruby issues have been fixed, on the other, the addition of mcollective into the mix as

I'm running smbfs on a Debian box with kernel 2.4.24. I would give you more information (such as my samba tools versions) if I could get into the box, but it's hung right now due to this bug. I'm mounting a filesystem from my desktop Windows box (which is right next to it; there's a D-Link in the way, though) and passing large amounts of data to it (backups). If the connection
