Hi Everyone, I am using Puppet 2.6.5 to configure fresh VMs. These VMs have their hostname set to localhost.localdomain initially at boot-time. There is this script file that runs in rc.local and this is what I do inside it 1. I change the hostname from localhost to xxx.xxxxxx using the hostname command. 2. start the puppet agent as /usr/sbin/puppetd --certname=xxx.xxxxxx

Hi. I''ve noticed that on servers that are both puppet and LDAP clients, the puppet client will hang if the LDAP server is not reachable. Does anyone know what the reason for this is?

Hi I use NIS om my network (CentOS4.6). When an update on a map occurs (home directory changed in /etc/passwd for instance), I run make -C /var/yp/ and check the result on a client. On the client I use "ypcat passwd" and find indeed that the update has propagated (the clients run ypbind service). On the client I have configured /etc/nsswitch.conf with : passwd: files nis shadow:

Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user.

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 have installed and configured the puppet client nodes to use LDAP to authenicate users. LDAP connection is OK and user can be authenicated via LDAP. I use nscd and with my ldap config setting specify on /etc/ldap.conf However, puppet is not happy; and in the /var/log/messages it gives tons of puppet-agent[27499]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server puppet-agent[27499]: nss_ldap:

Hi, I'm looking a wiki or share experience for replace NIS authentication by an existing Active directory Server (W2003). The problem is on the management of id and gid. How to move 1000 actual NIS users to AD ? How to keep the same id and gid for this 1000 users ? What's happen with nfs linux server and acess with gid and/id ? Use the same user/password for linux and Windows clients

I have a file resource defined to be owned by a group that is accessible via samba/winbind (AD based group), but every time Puppet runs automatically (every 30 min) the run fails with this error , (sensitive information removed) (/Stage[main]//Node[node1.tld]/Apache::Vhost[vhost1]/File[/var/www/ vhost1/html]) Could not evaluate: Could not find group org-www at /etc/

On the whole we are pleased with our trials of dovecot to replace UW-IMAP. But (ah!) we have hit one particular problem, in which we think dovecot could probably benefit from a resilience improvement. We're running dovecot on Fedora Core 5 (FC5), with passwd map details supplied by NIS. We have found that "nscd" sometimes thinks that a username is invalid, even though it is valid.

Hello I have installed Redhat Linux 9 and Samba 3.0.2a from the Source.

I want to manage my puppet.conf files on every node, via a puppet module on the puppetmaster. However, in puppet.conf on each of my nodes, I also *must* specify the certname attribute. (This is because my company''s NIS domain doesn''t match it''s DNS domain and the fqdn comes out erroneous unless I enforce the DNS name with the certname attribute.) Does anyone know how

I''m guessing this is a common use case, but I wasn''t able to find anything in the site FAQ. We''re looking at using Puppet on about 100 servers to control which user groups have access to which servers. The use case is as follows: We have Groups of servers, for example: CUSTOMERservers (serverA, serverB, ...,serverK) ADMINISTRATIVEservers

Hello listmates, We are currently running NIS for authentication but would like to migrate to LDAP. Thing is, though, that some of the machines that authenticate via NIS are so old I'd rather not even touch them. Hence the question - is there a good way to have an NIS server for user authentication that is a mirror image of an LDAP server, with a proviso that an update introduced there is
