I think I really hosed my certificates somehow this morning trying to get PuppetDB and Puppet talking again -- here''s where I stand. My Puppet master and PuppetDB are again talking, or at least, aren''t complaining about communication. From my puppet master, I can run "puppet agent -t", and it runs just fine. From any other node on which puppet had been running, I

I''ve got a situation where a manifest fails when writing one particular key for a user. What I have is a manifest that looks like this: class my::accounts () { Ssh_authorized_key { ensure => present, type => ssh-dss, } Then, after making sure the user, group, and authorized_keys2 file exist: ssh_authorized_key { "key-name-1": key

Should I be concerned?

I''m getting this problem on all the puppet client''s I''ve been setting up and it''s got me both scratching my head (because I''m not seeing anything obvious in any system logs) and pausing in my rollout until I get it solved: # puppet resource service puppet ensure=running enable=true Error: Could not start Service[puppet]: Execution of

Ok, I''m new to puppet, but I''ve got everything working for my setup. Almost. I''m trying to set up a new server, using cobbler, and then puppet. CentOS 6.2 Puppet 2.7.11 Cobbler 2.0.11 I have things set up so I can use kickstart to install the server on boot. It installs puppet and facter from the puppetlabs repos and the snippet

I''m looking to implement a hiera backend for our Puppet installation, as we routinely deploy systems that are of varying hardware, OS, and which may have multiple roles they fill. I''ve figured out, I think, how to handle the OS question through facter, but implementing server roles isn''t quite so clear. I want to maintain that information on the server, not on the

Hi guys, I''m installing Puppet on RHEL5 systems using KickStart but struggle with the first boot. Here''s my situation: 1) kickstart installs the system, including puppet from our local repo 2) after reboot I have to login and set the hostname and IP 3) then run puppet, register it with the server and bring in the config 4) configure puppet for automatic start I have to

Hello all, I know that execution order is not guaranteed within a scope without explicitly declaring dependencies. However I''ve always been able to set variables in classes, and expect them to be used properly in templates that I declare in a File statement in the same class. It looks like I came across a problem with this yesterday : My class contains : $master_port = 6379

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

Hi all, I have been working on a configuration of a Masterless configuration on Windows. I am able to get individual jobs to run like: puppet apply <path to my puppet .pp file> However, I would like to spin up the Vagrant box off a base VM, and have a puppet manifest file in a location where puppet knows to look and provision based off that file. The obvious place seems to be

> Apart from ipa are there any other good tools out there for centralised user > auth? I am currently testing LDAP (openldap) combined with nss_ldap, configured with authconfig. I would start by testing IPA. Redhat is building out a set of enterprise management tools which include cobbler and spacewalk; I would think IPA will eventually be integrated into their mgt tools. That said, if

Hi again List: This time I have the following: > setClass("dog",representation(breed="numeric")) [1] "dog" > woof <- function(x=1:10) { + if(!is.numeric(x))stop("Must have numeric data") + y <- new("dog",breed=x) + return(y) + } > setMethod("plot","dog", + function(x,y,...) { +

I am banging my head against the wall for recently built hosts that are unable to verify the server''s certs. The usual is not working. on the puppet agent machine: find /var/lib/puppet/ssl -type f -delete on puppet master: puppetca --clean <new_host_cert> on agent: puppetd --server puppet --waitforcert 2 --no-daemonize -d -o on puppet master: puppetca --sign

I have an internal web site that can only be accessed from other servers. It seems to me that I should pass an array of the addresses to the class that instantiates the template for the Apache configuration. That seems easy. The hard part is getting every node to "register" itself so that it''s IP address is added to the array. I imagine using virtual resources, e.g.

Hi, I'm running Centos 5 on an IBM x3550 series server with kernel version 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP, dual xeon, 9GB ram system.

When I deploy a module I wrote with couple of custom facts, those facts do not show up in factor. But when I point FACTORLIB to the directory with those factor, they work just fine. I am running a masterless puppet version 2.7.22 and factor 1.7.1 The module structure looks like so: -license ---lib -----facter -------license.rb -------hardware_serial.rb -----puppet Any idea what is causing

I'm trying to install CentOS-5.5 on my new HP micro-server, which has no CD drive. I've set up cobbler and cobbler-web on my old server, and can access cobbler-web from my laptop. I have 3 queries about the installation. 1. Is there any advantage is using the 64-bit CentOS rather than 32-bit? 2. The CentOS OS seems to be available in 7 or 8 CDs. (I tried downloading the DVD ISO with

I''ve been hacking at puppet for the past week or two, and came up with some great stuff, but I''m wondering if there''s a way to tie it all together To create a virtual machine for our company''s QA environment, I''m currently doing 3 things: #create a vm node vmsvr2 inherits default { include vmserver vmserver::vm {

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

Is it difficult to build cobbler on Centos or should I just go with Fedora on this one? Basically, if you have experience succeeeding at this, can you drop me a link to a Howto or describe the issues? I am only writing this because I tried, and ran into quite a few dependency issues with upstream/downstream packages, and would rather concentrate on just getting a nice working Cobbler (and
