similar to: Handling unmanaged resources and their files/configs

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7600 I call this the "agent orange" option :) This works, purging all unmanaged hosts entries: resources { ''host'': purge => true, noop => true, } We should have a similar property for all (most?) types. Please comment on the ticket or reply here, whichever you prefer. Thanks! r P.S. This is in

Hello Im just been working with puppet, the first usecase i have is to set up a system to create users and then push ssh keys on this machines in the create users .ssh files.

Should this work? # --- remove any cronjobs that are not managed by puppet. resources { "cron": purge => true } I get the following error. Resources[cron]: Failed to generate additional resources: You must specify a title for objects of type Puppet::Type::Cron Ben

I would like to write up brief tutorial/documentation on how to manage /etc/passwd using puppet. While this may seem pretty straight forward to some...the documentation is not. We have been able to create a manifest that defines all of our users "virtually" and are able to "realize" users and add them to the system(s) running puppetd. Is there a way to simply realize all users

Hi, We''re using thin stored configs heavily to manage things like Munin and Nagios and we''re currently wondering what to do when nodes go away, or change considerably. If we get rid of a server then all it''s stored config is still present in the database, as well as it''s nagios and munin configurations. We created a script that iterates through the database

So I have the following: define nagios::service ( $nagios_template = ''service-template'', $host_name = $fqdn, $service_groups = '''', $contact_groups = $default_contact_group, $max_check_attempts = 3, $dependency = false, $dependent_host = $fqdn, $dependent_service = '''', $check_command = '''' ) {

I have a situation where I''d like to perform some actions when a node is removed from a class. I have a few (homegrown) services that install ssh keys in authorized_keys and it''s possible that a node may have the service enabled and disabled during it''s lifetime. When disabled I''d like to clean up the ssh keys for security reasons. This brings up the broader

I attempted the following: resources { service: purge => true, noop => true } service { sshd: ensure => running; iptables ensure => running; } And got the following message: notice: Starting configuration run err: Found a bug: uninitialized constant Parse notice: Finished configuration run in 0.47 seconds When I remove the ''resources'' line, everything works

I''m not sure if this has been posted previously, but I couldn''t find any information on it. I added a cron job via the cron type and it installed properly. Next, I removed the cron type from the manifest. The result was that, while the entry was no longer in the yaml file, the cron entry was not removed! Is this a bug, or the way that it is supposed to function? Thank you,

Hello, I can''t figure out how I can use the module puppetlabs-firewall only for some targeted nodes. If I put : resources { "firewall": purge => true } in top scope (i.e. site.pp), then all the firewall rules on all my nodes are purged. Even for nodes for which I don''t apply any module containing specific firewall { ... } resources. If I put it in a module

tl;dr: Windows manages permissions in a way that doesn''t always translate well to mode. We''re putting together a solution for this. Jump in the discussion. I wanted to get this conversation started. We''ve put a lot of thought into how the model should look and focused on ease of use up to more advanced scenarios. However I don''t feel that what we have is

Hello Does anybody share how to roll-back configuration if puppet definition on host is change. For example Let''s assume we have host on which initial was web server and bunch of users. All this resources we configured throw puppet. node <some node> { <webserver difinition> <user1 definition> <user2 definition> <user3 definition> } At some

Ok, given the statement on the web page about unlesssystemuser under Resources ( http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/typedocs.html#resources), I assume that users can be purged. However, when I attempt to do this with resources { user: purge => true, noop => true } and what I get is: err: Found a bug: private method ''split'' called for nil:NilClass.

I have the following define... define puppet::module_dir { if $name { include puppet file { "${puppetdir}/modules/${name}": ensure => directory, mode => 0755, purge => true, recurse => true, } } } I call it like so: puppet::module_dir { "main" } puppet::module_dir

I''m trying to do something like this using puppet 0.24.8. define removeuser() { @ user { $name: ensure => absent } realize User["$name"] } $removelist = ["bob", "bill", "billy"] @ removeuser { $removelist : } It''s failing with "err: Could not retrieve catalog: Failed to realize virtual resources User[bob] on node

Hi, I have this resource definition: ssh_authorized_key { "nagios@login2": key => [REDACTED] user => "nagios", type => "ssh-dss", require => Service[''nis''], } This nagios user comes from NIS, yp.conf and nsswitch.conf are handled by puppet and configured before the key. I still get an "User does not

Is there a way to exec something on purge?

Hi All, is it possible to delete cronjobs by patterns using ''cron'' resource? I.e. I want to make sure that there is no any cronjob that contains "/ path/to/some/unneeded_file" command in root crontab without knowing the command possible parameters and schedule. If no, any suggestions about how it can be performed are welcome. Thanks in advance
