Hi I am trying to push populate /home & subdirectories from the puppet server to all the Linux clients. I managed this with cfengine using rsync. But I am not sure how do I achieve this in puppet, do we have any inbuilt function for this. Also, is there a function for userdel like for useradd (user) groupadd(group). Any suggestion is appreciated. -- Deepak

I am new to Puppet and very eager to apply it to a project. But I am somewhat stymied by the learning curve. So far I''ve found many very simple examples of how to modify a file or add a user and a very complex example http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/CompleteConfiguration . I have not been able to find any other examples of a total configuration tree (ie /etc/puppet/*)

Hi, I''m absolutely new to centralized server management, sorry sorry in advance for any stupid remarks. Looking on the puppet documentation, I mainly find a lot of info about how to manage the config files, but nothing about centralized control.

Dear list members, I am starting to get acquainted with linux on a ubuntu 11.10 installation on an external hard disk. I have just installed R and all the packages available in the r-cran-* list.

I''ve got about 40 linux/aix machines that I''d like assimilate into config management with puppet. I''ve been reading lots of docs, recipes and best practices. I''m wondering if there''s a guide somewhere that lays out the most efficient way to spread the use of puppet across a quantity of installed machines. I''d like to do first things first,

I hope that someone can help me here. in mcollective server.cfg I have following: identity = fqdn When I do mc-inventory (or any other function) the host name says: "fqdn". If i put hostname itself in it than that works, however that would mean I have to fill in that field on every server. Of course I can just create an erb template in puppet and specify hostname, but that just

Hi all, I''m a new puppet user and I''m running into some weirdness around creating users on solaris. (puppet version 0.23.2) The virt_all_users way of managing users seems pretty reasonable, but I don''t see how to deal with user specific groups with that. I have: class virt_all_users { @user { "seph": ensure => "present",

I''ve spent the last year developing a large Ruby on Rails 2.0 application with over a 100 tables and controllers and hope to be deploying it soon.

ARMailer (mail spooling program) I''ve

So I have two classes for openvz setup. The first is openvz::setup and it sets up the box for OpenVZ.. then another class (in same .pp file) called openvz::master sets up the config for the main system (as opposed to a VE).
