Greetings - Does anyone have plans for a Puppet BOF at LISA this year? I''ve seen some talk on the LOPSA configmgmt list about Config Mangement BOF''s, but nothing focused on Puppet. Please, Please, mom, can we have a BOF, PUHLEESE!!!! Luke - I hope you''ll be there so I can at least buy you dinner and beers/drinks for making my SA life easier with Puppet. Cheers, Jeff

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 I''m anxious to get puppet into production, and although I''d prefer installing puppet as a .deb package (as most of the servers in our shop runs Debian), I think I''ll try to get some of my not-so- important servers into my test setup by installing puppet with the .tgz files. Upon the first installation I realize that puppetd and puppetmasterd is copied to

Just started a "pilot" puppet server for real after messing around in VMs for the past week or so... I used the 0.24.0 since it was available, and on the test run, got this: err: Could not prefetch package provider ''yum'': Execution of ''/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/yumhelper.py'' returned 512: /usr/bin/python:

Hello, I just made packages for puppet for OpenSuSE. They are available at my yum repo at http://lmmri.fri.uni-lj.si/suse/ I had to change the init scripts and the first line of puppetd and puppetmaster programs from #!/usr/bin/env ruby to #!/usr/bin/ruby otherwise the killproc from init scripts could not kill the daemons. Unfortunately I had to change the spec file as well. I wonder

Hi all, I''ve been trying to monitor the traffic on the web site recently, and it seems like we''ve got a couple of Japanese Puppet users I didn''t know about. I''ve seen articles about Puppet on both madoro.org[1] and mizzy.org[2] recently. I haven''t looked into translations of Puppet''s documentation much, but this might be a good place

Hi all, The underlying assumption of membership in any community is that your participation is at worst neutral, and if possible positive. Communities, online or off, generally do what they can to protect themselves from detrimental influences, which is where policies, politeness, moderators, and all that come into play. Puppet''s community has been both fortunate and awesome,

Hello everyone, This email is a continuation of a discussion started in October 2015, and continued in September 2016: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-October/091536.html http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-September/104778.html As with those emails, this is a complicated topic and deals with sensitive legal issues. I am not a lawyer, and this email is not intended to be

Hi, [First, a quick introduction... I''m one of the sysadmins at Koumbit.org, and we''re evaluating puppet for managing our modest server farm. I''ve already started writing recipes and manifests and intend to share those with this community. Part of my time worked on this will be directly paid by Koumbit.] So we''ve got a few half-finished puppet modules here:

Hello, I want a simple operation in a puppet node like restarting the ssh service if it was stopped. My site.pp is simple as this: import "services/*" node default { include ssh } The services directory as a ssh.pp : class ssh { service { ssh: ensure => running, subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"] } } I''ve stopped the ssh service in the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all We''re currently looking at the next release of Facter and the future direction of the tool. I''d like to try and prompt some discussions on facter and what people want from it. As a starter here''s some (although not all) of the ideas we''ll be working through: 1. Namespaces - add a namespace or tiered

Hi all, This has theoretically been a high priority for a long time, and I''m finally going to get it done, I think. Here''s my plan, and I''d appreciate any comments you might have on it. Currently, sections only have meaning internally, in that one can call ''config.use(section)'' to create any directories needed for that section. Additionally,

Hello, I believe that ZFS and it''s concepts is truly revolutionary to the point that I no longer see any OS as modern if it does not have comparable storage functionality. Therefore I think that file system/disk manager with similar qualities should be written for Linux. Does Sun have plans to dual license ZFS as GPL so it can be ported to native Linux? If not, is it legal to write

I posted this earlier on IRC, but it didn''t seem anyone was active: <mozillaman>Hey all! <mozillaman>Quick question for you :) <mozillaman>I installed puppet according to the directions on the site and got this: sudo /usr/bin/puppetmasterd --nonodes undefined method `retrieve'' for nil:NilClass <mozillaman>Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

Hi, I would find it very useful if puppet were able to replicate passwords for specified users from a master PC (the puppetmaster would do me fine, though I suspect this may not suit everyone). That would make changing passwords on my small Linux network a little easier. cheers John Dubery

Hi, I''ve just changed my debian preseed configuration to install the debian unstable package of puppet v0.22.1. As part of the preseed I have a late command that clobbers the /etc/init.d/puppet file into using the puppet standalone program and not the puppetd (as this is what I''m using). Since the upgrade to 0.22.1 every boot hangs during the initd. Going into standalone mode

Hello List, We are using puppet to manage a growing number of Debian Etch based servers (currently 70). Since upgrading to 0.22.4 we encountered a problem when services do not restarted on puppets request. For example the Nagios remote plugin executor daemon (nrpe). It''s running daemonized and its confiugration is located in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg. This file is managed through puppet

In the normal override method, you can change the value of a parameter, but can you unset a parameter? file { "/etc/somefile": mode => 644, owner => "dude" } File ["/etc/somefile"] { mode => unset } ??
