Is puppet --genmanifest something one should still be using? I''m having some problems running it on RHEL4 and I''m sure I have read something about puppet taking care of its own directories automatically. Here are a selection of problems This entry stops puppet from running, (reported by Ben Abnormaliti@clivepeeters.com.au) file {

Hello, i used puppetd --genmanifest to create a site.pp and it created some weird entry: file { ''/var/puppet/log'': group => ''puppet'', loglevel => ''debug'', owner => ''puppet'', backup => ''false'', mode => ''488'', ensure =>

Hello, I am attempting to extend the standard manifest generated by puppetd --genmanifest. Interestingly, it seems like my file configurations are not being honored in terms of permissions and ownership. Instead, the default permissions and owners are being set. Is there some way to override the defaults from within a manifest? Also, I attempted to use the special parameters in the

I''d like to keep the desired and current states of a machine regarding it''s configuration. Sometimes a chain of administrative commands is needed to get a special thing (re)configured on a machine, e.g. reconfig of a suncluster. This cannot be done with puppet in an easy way. In the majority of cases, these commands change appropriate files, which reflect the current

SLES 10 clients keeps removing and re-adding accounts to groups. Can''t use this product in production as a result, I''d like to use it though.

Hi, I finally found why ralsh was failing on my systems; Puppet was installed as a gem and ralsh couldn''t find it. I added the preamble from puppetd and it seems to work fine now: ---8<--- snip ---8<--- 65c65,75 < require ''puppet'' --- > > require ''rubygems'' > version = "> 0" > if ARGV.size > 0 &&

Apologize ahead of time if this has been asked before. Without using external commands, can puppet back-up files and directories to the puppetmaster server? If I delete or change a file, I can back the file, but all I want to do is to take a snap-shot of some configurations. If I can''t do it natively, has anyone created a script that does so using external commands (such as tar, gzip,

I wanted to see how btrfs compares to other filesystems so I have been running bonnie++ on it. While the results are good(much faster then ext2) every once in awhile I get a kernel oops. I am testing on xubuntu 8.10 with the 2.6.27-7-686 kernel using the latest git sources. Most of the time the oops happens within 20min of running bonnie++ but sometimes it takes a few hours. This happens with and

Does anyone know where I can get the latest puppet, 2.7.1 as RPM''s? The spec file that comes with the puppet 2.7.1 source is broken again, and only version 0.25.5 seems to be available via EPEL, which means that the website''s assertion that you can get puppet as an RPM from there is somewhat untrue.

Hello! By default puppet node connects to server periodically and looks if there is something execute. I''m wondering is it possible to make puppet clients not connect to server themselves?

Hi, While puppet creates its own directories for internal stuff (puppetca, state, etc.), there''s a fair bit of latitude given to where things like manifests and uploaded files live. I didn''t get much guidance from the docs when I first set things up so I mostly poked at things until the worked. Take a look at the following and let me know if this looks reasonable; if so, it

So, my configuration attempts are aimed at Linodes . Ubuntu 10.10 to be exact. Linodes are libcloud enabled as well as basically provisioned. What I seek to do is add to that, not build from nothing, since libcloud et. al. give me a base to work with. What is the canonical way to manage this situation? For example: $ puppet resource package --verbose openssh-client package {

Dear List, I'm not an expert on Linux but I have been using Ubuntu and R sice two years ago.
