I''m running puppet 0.24.6 on CentOS 5.2 from a puppetmaster on a virtual server to a variety of client servers both virtual and metal running either CentOS 5.2 or Fedora Core 10. I want to extend this to servers running RHEL 5 (and 6) in the near future. My problem is I have puppet set up with all repositories (mirrored locally using cobbler) included in one file in

Hi all, First off, we''re running Puppet 2.7.6 with Ruby 1.8.7 on CentOS 6.0. Now, I''m using tildes in a template to prevent newlines from appearing but ruby/puppet is choking on them. */tmp/puppet$ cat test.erb* Line 1: Line 2 will exist if running on CentOS. <% if operatingsystem == "CentOS" ~%> Line 2: Yay, we''re running CentOS. <% end ~%>

I am getting the following error when executing puppet agent --test from the node to force it to get its node definition [root@localhost puppet]# puppet agent --test Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue: Warning: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed to find puppetnode.localdomain via exec: Execution of ''/etc/puppet/snc_enc.py

Hello list, I am having a problem with template file. Why are variables not interpolated? [root@puppet manifests]# cat /etc/motd memory free = <%= memoryfree %> domain = <%= domain %> operating system = <%= operatingsystem %> This is the template file [root@puppet manifests]# cat ../templates/motd.erb memory free = <%= memoryfree %> domain = <% domain %>

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 {

Just upgraded to 2.7.6 and the yumrepo type does not write out our yum configs correctly, anyone experiencing this? Documentation hasn''t changed from what I can tell for this type. # facter -version 1.6.2 # puppetd --version 2.7.6 # facter architecture x86_64 # facter operatingsystem Fedora # facter operatingsystemrelease 14 ==== My manifest ==== yumrepo {

Hi, i want to use Puppet to install all packages from a webserver (no repository) . Therefore I wrote following Script: class install_package { case "$operatingsystem" { SLES: { notify {"${operatingsystem} ${operatingsystemrelease} detected":} notify {"Installing $packagename now:":}

Hi all, I am creating a recipe for rhel boxes which needs to determine what type of install is present (server or client). I thought I would use the facter fact lsbdistid for this purpose but when I run "facter lsbdistid" from the command line nothing is returned. If I just run facter and grep for lsbdistid, what I am looking for is returned. Does anyone know why this might be?

Hi, I want to introduce "Proxmox" as new value in $::operatingsystem. "Proxmox" is based on Debian, so the normal value is currently "Debian". To change that, I just write a custom fact based on the facter fact "operatingsystem" Facter.add(:operatingsystem) do > ... > setcode do > ... > elsif

Hi. I have the following facts available: # facter | grep oper operatingsystem => CentOS operatingsystemrelease => 6.2 Now, if I wish to use conditionals on these facts, I have to do it like this: case $operatingsystem {} case $::operatingsystemrelease {} I''m puzzled as to why can''t I just use $operatingsystemrelease, and what do these two semicolons mean? Thank

I''ve written and deployed a simple Linux SSH module. But I need to modify to include support for FreeBSD and AIX. On top of that, I need to include some conditionals in there that (for example) if (/etc/file1 contains string abc) ; then install sshd-config-x & ssh-config-x elsif (/etc/file1 contains string xyz); then install sshd_config-y & ssh_config-y else install

Hi All, Hope you people are doing good. I have a manifest file : lass profile { # setup profile parms. We dont handle non Ubuntu OS yet if ("$operatingsystem" == "Ubuntu") { file { "/etc/profile.d": ensure => directory, purge => true, force => true, recurse =>

Hi all, I''m trying to get puppet working for the first time, and I''ve run into something that''s got me stumped. This is all on Solaris 10/x64. The initial startup of puppetmasterd wasn''t working, and it appeared to be related to the SSL certs not getting generated properly. I managed to trace that down to the fact that facter isn''t finding the

I''m using puppet-0.24.8-4.el5 on CentOS 5.4. My problem is yumrepo isn''t writing the "name=" field to the repository files which causes yum to complain with the error: Repository ''local-CentOS-5.4-x86_64'' is missing name in configuration, using id I get this behavior on all of my yumrepo definitions. One of them looks like this: yumrepo {

I''m re-posting this because I''m not sure that it got through the first time. If someone could at least echo back that this is reaching the list, I''d appreciate it. (I''m new to the list.) Sometimes (with variable frequency) storeconfigs stores the wrong data in the fact_values table. This has the end result that exported resources, when collected, have

I am writing my first module for ntp, I have a few different versions of Linux and also releases. The code worked when I only had one flavor of Linux but now I have four and possibly more flavors. My snippet that doesn''t work is as follows; ( I am not even sure this is the route I should be going if anyone has a better way please advise. Thank you in advance) $ntp_service = $ntpdaemon {

I forgot to mention this in my announcement yesterday. Puppet facts are no longer downcased in the language, and string comparisons now default to being case-insensitive. Where your operating system might previously have been ''solaris'' or ''debian'', it is now ''Solaris'' or ''Debian''. However, you can still do comparisons

Hi all, I''ve finally gotten around to releasing Facter 1.5. As the version bump implies, this is a relatively significant release (for a 2.3k line program, anyway). Mostly, the biggest change is refactoring the code internally so that all of the functionality is split into separate classes in separate files. Also, the facts are all loaded on-demand, which provides dramatic

Hello, I have a file which varies depending on which OS/version it''s running. I tried to make a nested source parameter like this, but it didn''t work: source => $operatingsystem ? { Debian => "puppet://myserver.com/files/os/debian/etc/ssh/sshd_config", Gentoo => "puppet://myserver.com/files/os/gentoo/etc/ssh/sshd_config", RedHat =>
