Hi, For the past week, I have been trying to figure out the best way to do package management with Puppet on an Ubuntu system. I have studied many solutons I found on the web, but none of them seem to do exactly what I want. Among other things, I have tried everything that is discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/af7349171a5821a4/db96b809c97f6006 but

I am trying to get rrd graphs working, but I am getting the infamous "RRD library is missing; cannot store metrics". Everything I have read about the error applied to redhat or ubuntu. I am using Solaris 10. I installed both the rrdtool Solaris package and the RubyRRDtool gem. When I run "ruby -rRRDtool -e ''puts :yep''", it successfully returns

We have discovered a security vulnerability (“AltNames Vulnerability”) whereby a malicious attacker can impersonate the Puppet master using credentials from a Puppet agent node. This vulnerability cannot cross Puppet deployments, but it can allow an attacker with elevated privileges on one Puppet-managed node to gain control of any other Puppet-managed node within the same infrastructure. All

I''m playing around with foreman for the moment. I can''t seem to figure out how to make the dashboard look like in this screenshot http://theforeman.org/wiki/foreman/Screenshots#Dashboard In order for those statistics to work what should be done? I have activated the rrdgraph reports in puppetd, uncommented the line ":rrd_report_url: report/" in config/settings.yaml

Hello puppet world, I''m sure this is probably an easy fix, but I cannot seem to resolve this issue. The puppetmaster starts correctly and so does the puppet agent, which receives the update correctly if I restart the puppet agent service manually or during the timed updates; however, if I perform an "puppet kick", it just fails with the following error: Triggering

Has anyone tried using this puppet forge module with a certificate? (puppetlabs/vcsrepo) Any ideas on how to specify via command line to git what certificate to use? The only way that I know to tell git to use a specific certificate is to use the GIT_SSH env variable and specify a script which calls ssh -i ... $@ Silviu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Can anyone have detailed list of dependencies? I am under impression, that all my all problems with getting puppet to work come from the fact, that I have no idea what are puppet dependencies. On puppet Wiki one can read, that what is required is "ruby", and for storedconfigs "sqlite3" and "libsqlite3-ruby". Well, it is true, that they are required, but by far it

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

I have a freshly installed and updated CentOS 5.4 system running puppet 0.25.5. I followed the passenger docs here: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Using_Passenger Upon starting the client, the following appears in the apache error log. [Thu Jun 24 10:48:40 2010] [error] [client 10.10.4.45] Premature end of script headers: production [ pid=6785 file=ext/apache2/Hooks.cpp:706

Hi I have installed the puppet master daemon and a puppet client but the puppet client is not periodically reloading the manifest, even though the client connects successfully and applies the manifest when started up the first time. My simple test manifest looks as follows: node default { file {"/home/ubuntuvm1/test.txt": mode => 777 } } Is it possible to set the

Greeting Puppeteers, ( I sent this from the wrong address so it may be a duplicate post after moderation ) I recently discovered puppet from the debian administration site and thought I might install it after BASHING my head against cfengine the last 3 times I tried to install it. I installed puppetmaster on my primary server and dropped puppet on a couple of xen virtuals. It worked

Hi, we use kerberos with keytabs on our clients. We do *not* trust root on the clients! One client should never have access to any other client''s keytab. This is my proposed solution to get the keytabs to the clients, any comments welcome! 1. Use file to get /root/.ssh/authorized_keys 2. Use exported resource to let the client "notify" the server that it wants a keytab 3. On

Puppet custom functions and user permissions I am busy writing a custom function to automatically add OSSEC agents to a OSSEC server after installation. Unfortunately, it seems that puppetmasterd is not respecting the entries in /etc/group in linux. No matter how many other groups the puppet user has been added to in /etc/ group, when puppetmasterd runs the custom function the effective/real user

I''m troubled with a node-definition not able to resolve a class: Could not find class rhnsd::common at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp: 8 on node X Content of manifest/site.pp: import "nodes.pp" [...] The layout of modules/rhnsd/ is: |-- files | `-- up2date-rhn |-- manifests | |-- client.pp | |-- common.pp | |-- init.pp | `-- rhn.pp A `cat'' from each

Hi all! I have quation: how i may use nested variables/facts? For example, I have variable $iface.

Hey All, This is probably a gotcha of some kind. That is to say I''ve missed a configuration somewhere. I''ve recently moved over to using mongrel as the puppet server type and having nginx proxy to one of four mongrel instances. What I''m seeing though is that when I try to run a new node (one that has been created post moving to mongrel/nginx) is that it returns with the

Hi, This one is driving me crazy. Problem is Puppet try to start some services (in this case zabbix-agent) before it is installed. My puppet-master is Debian 5.05 with Puppet 2.6.0 (from squeeze). Target system is FreeBSD 8.1 with Puppet 2.6.1 (from packages-8- stable). When I run puppet manually in debug-mode I get: MASTER: debug: Adding relationship from Package[zabbix-agent] to File[zabbix-

I have some NFS directories that get changed to a read-only status after a period of time. I noticed in puppet, if I change these values and restart puppet and puppetmaster respectively, it does not pick up the change in the mount {} directive. Is there a way around this, or a better way to affect the change. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Hello, I am running puppet server version 0.25.4-2, and since Debian squeeze is the new stable release I would like to adapt some of my modules. I have a syslog-ng module, I would like to specify another template for my squeeze server. I changed my init.pp as follow : if ($operatingsystemrelease <= 5.0.8) { $syslog_template = "syslog/syslog-ng.conf.erb" } else {

Hi, I''d like to be able to deploy a skeleton directory through puppet, i.e. puppet deploys it only if it does not exist. I tried this : file {"/path/to/this/directory": source => "puppet:///files/path/to/the/skeleton", ensure => directory, recurse => true, owner => auser, group => agroup } But I have 2 problems for the moment : - if I
