I see that there are an assorted bunch of "provider" types for resource type user. Are there not any "local file" providers for it? I have need of ensuring that certain local user accounts get created on all machines, reguardless of what the system "/bin/password" and "useradd" type mechanisms are set to. It would be really nice to find a pre-written

Hi, I have certain situations where I want to manage user attributes, if the user already exists on a system, but not actually create them if they are missing. Is there a way to do this? I tried removing the explicit "ensure => present", but this seems to have no effect (i.e. missing users still created). I am running 2.7.9. Thanks, Alan -- You received this message because

In a posting a few days ago was this hiera.yaml source listing: --------------------------------- :backends: - json :hierarchy: - %{fqdn} - %{lmax_role}_role - %{lmax_env}_server - %{pop}.tradefair - common :json: :datadir: - /etc/puppet/private/ - /etc/puppet/environments/%{environment}/hiera_data_store/ -

Dear all, This is a continuation of another thread, but I think the question diverged enough to create a new one. I have a hiera hierarchy like this: :hierarchy: - %{fqdn} - %{secundary_group} - %{primary_group} - %{productname} - all And I need to define the secondary/primary groups as facts, on the nodes. Gary has suggested me to use plugins, that they will provide the facts before

Hi, if possible can someone post a working example please ? I am using hiera => puppet => augeas. cat myserver.yaml --- myserver: "Birthday": ''1'' "Debug": ''5'' The no. of settings will change, so i would like to use a hash here.

Not sure if people are already aware of this, but it might save someone some time in the future.

Hello, I am trying to join a third domain controller to an existing Samba 4 domain (sernet samba 4.2.1-17.el6.x86_64) and we're hitting a problem that looks like some bad replication data on certain objects. We get part way through replicating the tree and then it dies on a Sudo Rule object: [root at dc03 ~]# /usr/bin/samba-tool domain join EXAMPLE.COM DC -U Administrator

Hi, I've never been a Windows user, but I'm curious to see how the AD integration works in Linux, since it looks like we may need to have one or two Windows desktops and I don't realy want to start setting up Windows infrastructure. If I can have Samba as a domain controller that makes things a lot simpler. I have one question tho, the documentation suggests using the Microsoft

Hi, I''m using puppet on EC2 to setup my VMs with the following configuration: # puppetd --version 0.25.5 # uname -a Linux hostname.domain 2.6.16-xenU #1 SMP Mon May 28 03:41:49 SAST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux But I keep facing some timeout from puppetd: warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in this SSL session Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert

Hi, I was asked by my boss if puppet can handle the following scenario. - 2 server (A and B) - same config for each server, eg. /etc/resolv.conf (nameserver 1.2.3.4) - but B should have a local unique requirement of another nameserver 5.6.7.8 so, A will have nameserver 1.2.3.4 but B will have nameserver 5.6.7.8 nameserver 1.2.3.4 when we change the global nameserver 1.2.3.4 to 9.8.7.6, it

Hello, We're using Samba 4.1.11 as domain controllers and over the past two weeks I've run into several issues with unrelated Windows software, the problems of which all point to Kerberos authentication and SPNs as being somehow involved. If there are many more issues it might start to get politically difficult *not* to blame the DCs, and I don't want to point fingers at Samba. Are

Is there an easy way to convert a puppet client into being a puppet master? Here''s the scenario. I''m using puppet to configure all my systems, and would like it to be able to deploy a new puppet master as well. We have systems worldwide so having local puppet masters is very desirable for fault tolerance. So Kickstart (via cobbler) installs a puppet client during the initial

Hello, Quick observation after recently updating all DC's to 4.2.0 from 4.1.17. Several users received the notice "account is currently locked out" after entering their password once.

I''m using the resolv.conf pattern described here: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Resolv_Conf_Patterns In my node templates I have a "base" class that does all of the housekeeping chores to set up a basic server (install preferred editors, subversion, etc.).
