Hi I have been trying to get puppet working with kickstart. I am trying to install Hadoop on the nodes. Installing puppet from kickstart work and when the machine restarts, certificates are pulled down and hadoop user is created and files are extracted. I want all the user creation etc to be done before the machine reboots so that I can set up init.d scripts to do a start of hadoop . So I

It looks like all of our RHEL 6 systems now need to connect to the RHN Optional Channel. (puppet, ruby vs. selinux deps) Is there a way to do that with a script without having to enter RHN userid and password? Is there a way to add a channel during kickstart?

Luke has mentioned a few times that people are fairly quiet about numbers, so I thought I''d help out there. Our production Puppet server currently has 75 signed certificates, and I believe essentially all of those systems are active. We have an extremely diverse environment; there are rarely more than three or four systems that can use the same set of classes. So that represents quite

Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or

Can anyone who''s having this problem please send details? I''m trying to reproduce it -- I''ve got 5 clients concurrently retrieving 200 10k files made of random binary, and I can''t get any corruption or memory growth at all. Is everyone experiencing the problem using Mongrel? Webrick? What versions of ruby? Are only big files affected? Small files?

I was wondering if there would be any benefit to the general community if I made available a debian and ubuntu repository of up to date puppet packages. I have the infrastructure in place anyway for my work (pbuilder + falcon), and can quite easily run up a vhost on a VM somewhere. Debian Etch (4.0) for example has puppet 0.20.1, and will never get a newer version. Ubuntu Feisty has a newer

Hi all, I''ve been looking for a good example for how one would build a module, but I couldn''t really find something that I liked, so I went ahead and tried to do it myself. The result is this: a git module (see attachment). Please have a look and comment on it, before I add it to the wiki. I especially want comments on the setup of the module itself, not so much on the git

i got a little idea there, should not puppet use environement LANG=C when managing facts or packages etc... ? i have LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 and puppet choke on quite a few facts (erors messages with uname for exemple: Pour en savoir davantage, faites: « uname --help ». ) and also with packages updates : /usr/bin/apt-cache policy mysql-client-4.1 => err:

Before I start working on it, I''d like to check if anyone is already using Puppet to manage their servers'' RHN subscriptions. We run a local RHN Proxy server and at the moment, I''m using Kickstart to: - Install Facter and Puppet - Install our organisations trusted RHN SSL certificate - Download and install our RHN configuration file - Import GPG keys - Run rhnreg_ks to

I am trying to write a module for tripwire. I need to push out the twcfg.txt and twpol.txt files only if the tw.cfg and tw.pol files do not currently exist. How can do I this with File{}? I''m can''t seem to find a way to do it. In general times, how can you deploy file A only when file B does not exist? And... tripwire... what a mess. I am trying to use push out the site key,

What is everyone''s experience with Puppet on Ubuntu? Does it work as expected? Any caveats or oddities? -- DK -- Digant C Kasundra <digant@stanford.edu> Technical Lead, ITS Unix Systems and Applications, Stanford University

Hello, I just attempted to remove both the ypbind and the yp-tools packages using the package parameter with yum. As it turns out, both of these packages depend on each other. Is there a way of forcing package removal and, if there is not, is there a way of making all packages to be removed be collapsed into the same yum command? Either of these solutions would solve the problem with the

Hi all. We have a bunch of RHEL servers running Puppet. They are also connected to our Red Hat Satellite server. Currently we don''t have any master documentation system that stores all relevant information (i.e. type of server, hardware info, linux configuration, etc) about the servers. So what I''d like to do is implement some sort of system that can hold all this information.

Using CentOS 7.5, I can't (and don't expect) to see rhn-ssl-tool. But I was expecting to find something similar. I can't see anything in the recent RH documentation about it - I presume it was remove/changed with the move from Spacewalk to Satellite - but I presume the functionality is still required? Has something replaced it? Cheers L. ------ '...postwork futures are

Greetings all, My deployment of puppet includes a monitrc to make sure that puppetd stays up and running. It seems like (across all of my hosts) that pupeptd will end up dying and restarted by monit. I''m running puppetd under a screen session now on one particular host with --debug --verbose to see if any thing comes out on console but until it happens again, any anybody else

Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run?

Anyone care to share how they handle yum updates? We have a script that runs yum update nightly and then emails us the results when there are packages to be updated. Ideally I''d like a way to keep a class in site.pp that can be uncommented to run yum update -y after the update list is reviewed by a human. Tim

Greetings! Are there any plans of using Kerberos for authentication in addition to (or in place of) SSL certificates in Puppet? Kerberos provides mutual, cryptographically strong authentication. A number of different services are Kerberos-enabled (SSH, NFSv4 and HTTP are common examples), and thus use the same authentication mechanism system-wide. At our site, almost all services and users are
