So I am beginning the long process of learning puppet... and it seems that I am missing some vital things. My systems are RHEL-4, and i have installed the puppet/facter/puppetmasterd from dlutter@redhat.com''s archive. [root@canopus puppet]# rpm -qa | egrep ''puppet|facter'' | sort facter-1.3.6-1.el4 puppet-0.22.2-1.el4 puppet-server-0.22.2-1.el4 on the client I

So I have been trying to run puppet once in my kickstart %post scripts but every time it detaches and daemonizes even though I have explicitly stated otherwise. Am I missing something? # rpm -q puppet puppet-0.24.8-1 # /usr/sbin/puppetd --onetime --no-daemonize --verbose --debug debug: Creating default schedules debug: Failed to load library ''shadow'' for feature

Hello... I wanted to be able to startup an EC2 instance with one command and have a fully functioning server without having to shell into each new instance and configure the bits to allow puppet to finish the configuration. Here are some notes I came up with for bootstrapping an ec2 instance with puppet using Ubuntu 10.04. I left out a lot of things about creating and running custom AIM

Hi, I''m using puppet on EC2 to setup my VMs with the following configuration: # puppetd --version 0.25.5 # uname -a Linux hostname.domain 2.6.16-xenU #1 SMP Mon May 28 03:41:49 SAST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux But I keep facing some timeout from puppetd: warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in this SSL session Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert

Hi, I''m getting this message "Could not request certificate: No route to host - connect(2)" when I''m trying to connect my pclient to pmaster. I checked my hostnames for both the pclient and the pmaster: [root@pclient etc]# hostname -f pclient.domain [root@pmaster etc]# hostname -f pmaster.domain I tried requesting for certificate: [root@pclient etc]# puppetd --server

Hoping you guys might be able to help me out, I''m not sure what''s wrong but puppet agent hangs for over a minute, no resource spikes (CPU, memory, etc all stay basically the same as without starting puppet, barely a blip, and I''ve got more than enough headroom). It''s not a serious issue for continuous usage, but really, really annoying when testing the manifests

Hello All, I am trying to put puppet into push mode only. The instructions I''ve seen have said to put listen=true in puppet.conf but that doesn''t seem to have stopped the pull every 30 minutes. What else needs to be set? Thanks, Jim -- “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines.

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

I am banging my head against the wall for recently built hosts that are unable to verify the server''s certs. The usual is not working. on the puppet agent machine: find /var/lib/puppet/ssl -type f -delete on puppet master: puppetca --clean <new_host_cert> on agent: puppetd --server puppet --waitforcert 2 --no-daemonize -d -o on puppet master: puppetca --sign

I have created my first ''fact'', first attempt at Ruby too, and configured the fileserver to server it but when a Fedora (5 or 6) client sync''s puppetd appears to hang. CentOS clients sync and use the new fact fine. Find attached the fact file and the output from ''puppetd --debug --factsync'' on a FC5 client is below. This is a 0.20.1 client and

I just upgraded from 0.23.2-1 on RHEL 4&5 to 0.24.1-1. I used Dlutter''s repository. What a mess I''m in now. Anyway to make a long story short I moved all of the old configs out of the way (/etc/puppet, /var/lib/puppet) and started over with a fresh install. I can''t get puppetd on the server to request a cert. If I do a "puppetd -v --waitforcert 90" the

Hi: I''m trying to configure Puppet on Ubuntu, and strangely I am never able to generate a certificate because my server never shows any pending certificate requests. Put differently, on the server I am running puppetmasterd and on the client I am able to connect to the server, but the client continues printing notice: Did not receive certificate warning: peer certificate

Hi Everyone, I am using Puppet 2.6.5 to configure fresh VMs. These VMs have their hostname set to localhost.localdomain initially at boot-time. There is this script file that runs in rc.local and this is what I do inside it 1. I change the hostname from localhost to xxx.xxxxxx using the hostname command. 2. start the puppet agent as /usr/sbin/puppetd --certname=xxx.xxxxxx

Guys, I seriously could not find this topic in the documentation. What do you do when you need to force puppetd hosts get the new settings from puppetmasterd? What I found was only sending USR1 signal to the client process in order to make it refresh its configuration from the master. But I find it a bit inconvenient for a large amount of hosts. There is also puppetrun which, if I understand

Folks -- I am attempting to retrieve a new certificate on a Puppet client whose certificate was revoked on the Puppet master. The original certificate was revoked using the command: # puppet cert --revoke el5-puptest-2.localdomain I have deleted the /var/lib/puppet/ssl directory on the client, and issued the following command: # puppet agent --test --waitforcert=20 This produces the

So I''m trying to get multiple environments to work with puppet 0.25.1 on ubuntu 8.04 and no matter what I do, puppet just completely ignores any environment setting. There''s really next to no information in terms of configuration on the multiple environments documentation page (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments) other than saying that the

I have the error err: Invalid argument - /var/lib/puppet/state/ puppetdlock appearing on one of my servers. I have plenty of disk and plenty of inodes. The daemon is not running.

I am trying to connect a solaris puppet client version 2.6.4 to a linux puppet master server. I am getting a starnge message as below and the puppetca on the master is not able to see the client certificate.

Hi, I am running puppet-server 0.25.5 on CentOS 5.4. I defined a moudle in /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf as below: [files] path /tmp/puppet allow * I also defined a resource in /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp: file { "/etc/passwd": owner => "root", group => "bin", mode => 644, } file { "/tmp/0909.txt": source =>
