Hi all, following http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel it says that hostkey/cert must be owned by puppet:puppet.

I''m managing the package and several links under /etc/alternatives with puppet, but for configuring it, all the ''official'' docs recommends ''alternatives''.

Hi all, My current conf splits 188 clients execution in one hour, and puppet runs as a cron job. My server (2cpu 2 GB RAM) runs with mongrel (with 8 puppetmasterd) and this conf works fine. We''d like puppet to run clients all at same time (force a change, i.e.), so we''re testing several things. (Previous conf do not support massive execution). First and most important, is

Hi, I have got a curious issue with an R package which uses zlib, against the official binary here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/el4/i386/R-2.4.1-1.rh4AS.i386.rpm on a Redhat EL4 i686 system. The problem is that at the end of reading a gzip'ed file within my C code, gzgetc() returns -1 (no more to read or error) but gzeof() doesn't return true. Now one can probably jump to

greetings, have been google foo for week or so. used to be super easy to upgrade spamassassin on CentOS dist. just grab the tarball and put in right spot and rpmbuild -tb spamassassin-3.somethingsomething.tar.gz then rpm or yum install and done would take just a few minutes. Yet... in regards to EL4 / CentOS 4 and spamassassin, it appears the end of the road for .spec in SA tarball

I want to install TinyCA2 on my Centos5 setup. I had a real learning experience the last time around (last year, July) and in the end, I got the repo down from Dag's site and was cool. Now I am on Centos 5 and no TinyCA2. Can I just download the EL4 rpm from: http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repoview/tinyca2-0-0.7.5-2.el4.rf.html and do a yum localinstall ? Or do I have
