I would like to use gssapi authentication in rsync. GSSAPI is the standard way to use kerberos. My idea is not too have a full pam implementation, juste a different way to authenticate users than the secret file and md4 challenge. I made a little experiment and it worked well. What I've done is changing the challenge command. Instead of sending @RSYNCD: AUTHREQD <challenge>, it

I tried to conditionally run etckeeper at the end of a puppet run. For that I defined the following class : class os::etckeeper::commit { $cmd = "$operatingsystem" ? { ''debian'' => ''/usr/sbin/etckeeper'', default => ''/usr/bin/etckeeper'', } exec {"etckeeper commit": command =>

Hi All, I was wondering if it is possible to NOT show an event in puppet dashboard. I have an exec resource that fires of a ruby script. This is triggering a changed event on every run, but actually I want to exclude this from showing up as "CHANGED" Is this possible, if so how can I achieve this? --- myscript: --- exec { "run_myscript" : #

We haven''t been able to use mongrel for testing yet, but in order not to waste time, we did some performance testing with 1, 2 and 4 puppetmasterd/webrick processes. Attached is an HTML page (ripped from our wiki - not pretty, but reasonably readable) which describes the method and results. If someone feels like making some nice graphs, that would be great. If not, I''ll try to

All, Once the puppet clients are installed, is there a option to list the client in the server. mind you I never meant the cert - signing list.. which would be puppetca --list.

I have tried to use config_version and failed due to limitations in the way I would like to use it: - http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3692 - http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4845 - http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5404 As part of http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3692, we''d like to get a handle on who in the puppet community is using config_version successfully as it

Here''s one for you! We''re rolling out some zip files to our servers using Puppet, there''s an exec that unzips them, the zip file is then deleted. I need to remove the old versions of the unzipped directory using Puppet when we rol out a newer version. So, on my client/node machine I have the below directories. /opt/1234 /opt/12345 /opt/123456 What I need to do, is

Hi, We have dedicated puppet master boxes, which basically only run a mongrel/puppetmasterd (6 instances), an apache proxy for mongrel and puppetd. Recently puppetmasterds seemed to have leaked almost all of the RAM, and the thrashing made the box painfully slow. We restarted the puppetmasterd processes, and started collecting some statistics. Attached is a graph of memory usage on one of the

I''m having problems with a definition not being found. I get the following error when running puppetd -vt: err: Could not find type "manual_apt_get_update" in file /etc/puppet/manifests/definitions/apt_misc.pp at line 22 The definition is present for sure. Can anyone spot a problem with the code below? define manual_apt_get_update { exec { "/usr/bin/apt-get

Hello list. I''ve the following parent class: class munin::client { ... munin::client::plugin { "postfix_mailqueue": name => "postfix_mailqueue", enable => "false" } } And the following inherited class: class munin::client::plugins::postfix inherits munin::client { munin::client::plugin {

Hi, We''re trying to follow the instructions at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel (Just using a single puppetmaster/mongrel instance and plain mod_proxy for now, instead of balancer one) We got past the "Server is not a class" error by modifying mongrel.rb We also kind-of got past the: /opt/bin/puppetmasterd:293: undefined method `daemonize'' for

We'd like to get new users to the information they need quickly and one thing new users want to know is if they can use Puppet for what they want to do. So far, we don't have a very extensive (or thorough) list of platforms and software solutions that our community is using with Puppet. To deal with this, I've drafted a short list of platforms under which Puppet is

Hi, I have just successfully configured Puppet to run with Mongrel, and would like to update the documentation with what I''ve learned. However, since I''m not an expert with these things, I thought I''d share with the list before updating the wiki. So here''s what I''d change: + Remove this picture:

Hi, Is there a way to have puppetmaster sign new clients'' certificates when using apache+mongrel for serving, without having a separate puppetmaster instance running webrick on a different port/IP? I guess this does not work out of the box because apache is told to do the verification very early in the connection process, at which point it does not yet know that the client is going to

Greetings all, My deployment of puppet includes a monitrc to make sure that puppetd stays up and running. It seems like (across all of my hosts) that pupeptd will end up dying and restarted by monit. I''m running puppetd under a screen session now on one particular host with --debug --verbose to see if any thing comes out on console but until it happens again, any anybody else

I''m trying to write a wrapper definition for the file type to make it a bit smarter. I have a basic version working fairly well: define xfile($owner = root, $group = root, $mode = 644, $source, $backup = main, $recurse = false, $ensure = file) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup, recurse

Hi, I''ve just changed my debian preseed configuration to install the debian unstable package of puppet v0.22.1. As part of the preseed I have a late command that clobbers the /etc/init.d/puppet file into using the puppet standalone program and not the puppetd (as this is what I''m using). Since the upgrade to 0.22.1 every boot hangs during the initd. Going into standalone mode

Hello puppet users, I know this is not really a puppet thing but i wanted to know what tools do you use for server provisionning ? I have to build quite a lot of servers for a prject and i need to instal them. Of course puppet take care of the configuration but i wondered if some of you use things like FAI . It seems that i could use puppet to script FAI to install machines. What do you

I have just tarred up a snapshot and uploaded it to: http://www.mindrot.org/misc/openssh/openssh-SNAP-20000823.tar.gz The snapshot incorporates the last month's fixes and enhancements from the openssh-unix-dev mailing list and from the OpenBSD developers. In particular: - ssh-agent and ssh-add now handle DSA keys. NB. this does not interop with ssh.com's ssh-agent. (Markus Friedl)
