Hi! I''ve installed puppetmaster 2.7.13 on a server with CentOS 6.2 with a rpm supplied by yum.puppetlabs.com. I''ve setup a apache2 vhost with mod_ssl and passenger. The server is configured to autosign the cert requests. The agent installed on the puppetmaster''s server works fine. I''ve a second agent on a server which can sync with the server too. This

We have a policy that requires all user passwords to expire after 90 days. We also use puppet for managing all users on our machines. Our hope was, when our passwords expire, we could update the puppet manifest which would propogate to all our servers, thus updating all our passwords. The problem is, the User type (w/ manage_passwords enabled and ruby- shadow installed) will only set the

Hopefully I''m just missing something simple, but I''m having trouble getting just the absolute bare-bones puppet set up on a new, clean Solaris 10 install. When I try to run: /opt/csw/bin/puppetd --verbose --no-daemonize --server puppet.mydomain.com I just get: err: Could not create resources for managing Puppet''s files and directories in sections [:main, :agent,

Hello everyone, I''ve been working on an internal best practices document that also tackled giving proper terms to things that were at the time uncoined. But looks like we have a bit of a merge problem as other terms have been floating around that seem to conflict with some terms we''ve been using internally at my organization. I''m hoping we can discuss and

Hey everyone, I seem to be running into an error that I can''t find an answer for. I have a simple manifest that installs a few packages and then starts a few services. But it chokes while installing Nginx with this error: err: /Stage[main]//Package[nginx]/ensure: change from purged to present > failed: Could not set ''present on ensure: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

Hi, Since the below is a little long, I put my question at the top: how do I troubleshoot awful exported resources performance in puppet and is there anything I can tweak to get it to run under 10 minutes in larger environments? I have a fairly modest environment (118 nodes, but prod will be at least twice as large). I''m trying to move my distributed nagios setup to one based on

Hello, I''m trying to come up with a generic wrapper class for use with hiera so that I can have a service that is completely managed and configured via hiera and its own puppet module to be notified by Puppet of changes to a file or other resource managed by a different class/module. The example I''m using here is the management of /etc/security/limits.conf for a service account

Greeting Puppeteers, ( I sent this from the wrong address so it may be a duplicate post after moderation ) I recently discovered puppet from the debian administration site and thought I might install it after BASHING my head against cfengine the last 3 times I tried to install it. I installed puppetmaster on my primary server and dropped puppet on a couple of xen virtuals. It worked

I am trying to get Puppet to push out a Solaris sudo package that I built, but I keep getting errors. I tested applying the package manually outside of Puppet and it works perfectly, but when I attempt to push it out via Puppet it fails. Puppetmaster Version: 0.23.2 [Ubuntu Linux 7.10 - Puppet built from source] Puppet client version: 0.23.0 [Sun Solaris 10 Zone - Puppet built from source] The

This has been a much-requested feature, and is now a reality (in svn trunk): There is a new option, --ignoreimport, that will (surprisingly) ignore import statements. This is really only useful when using -- parseonly in a commit hook, and note that you''ll have to add the option to --parseonly, none of the puppet executables will add it for you. You should be able to

Hi all, Not sure if this is a bug in puppet, yum, or just something I''m doing wrong. I''m trying to use puppet to update a package to a particular version and exec a command when that update is applied. The problem is, puppet calls yum which successfully updates the package, but puppet then thinks the update has failed and hence doesn''t trigger the exec. Next

hello list!! I am still having some file sharing issues with this puppet server and I was hoping someone would have an opinion they could share on this situation ## puppet errors err: //basefiles/File[/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Error 400 on SERVER: Not authorized to call find on /file_metadata/acadaca/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf

Hi, I''m in the progress of writing custom facts to retrieve our network configuration for the nodes from the openldap ENC. Now, since the puppetmaster has also access to the ldap server, I''m thinking to move the custom facts to a function, so it runs on the puppetmaster only, end not on every node. I just wanted to here some other opinions about this issue. Thx Johan

hello again list!! I am attempting to work out how to serve files with puppet. Here is my fileserver.conf file # This file consists of arbitrarily named sections/modules # defining where files are served from and to whom # Define a section ''files'' # Adapt the allow/deny settings to your needs. Order # for allow/deny does not matter, allow always takes precedence # over

Hi, I currently have a MySQL database containing all Puppet storeconfigs. My intention is to migrate to PuppetDB on a PostgreSQL server, so the first step is to use the ''storeconfigs'' face to export all the DB to a file PuppetDB can later consume. But the ''puppet storeconfigs export'' command always ends up being killed, I suspect due to some sort of OOM

Hi, Why doesn''t puppet resource group tell me who belongs to the group? Given the group such as: mg_team:x:501:smruph, cosman, msmith, mhankey With the command: puppet resource group mg_team only returns: group { ''mg_team'': gid => ''501'', ensure => ''present'' } I was expecting: group { ''mg_team'':

Hi there, I''m facing a problem that I think it''s common enough to be solved directly by puppet or at least have a best practice recommended: building a config file from snippets. I''m thinking for example about a dns zone and hosts inside that zone, ldap server and ldap databases, samba server and samba shares, a firewall config and firewall rules,... The first part of

Hi. Is there any way to make puppet run a particular module first before another module is run. For example, I''m using the augeas resource type in one of the modules. But libaugeas-ruby1.8 is not installed in the client machine. So when the catalog is run, I get the following error: Could not find a default provider for augeas. So I built another module that will install the

Hi, I am trying to convince aptitude update to run only when a file changes in /etc/apt/sources.list.d: exec { <snip> "aptitude-update": command => "/usr/bin/aptitude update", subscribe => "$basedir/sources.list.d", refreshonly => true; } File { owner => ''root'', group =>
