hi all, I have an array and i would like to convert it into a string format. e.g. $server = ["node1", "node2", "node3"] when I write my puppet codes exec { "myscript -S $server": path => XXXX } my $server becomes a continual string like: "node1node2node3", instead of "node1 node2 node3". How can i have a delimiter of space in

Hi all, In my systems (SL 6.3, RH like) I''m installing Oracle''s Java. I''m managing the package and several links under /etc/alternatives with puppet, but for configuring it, all the ''official'' docs recommends ''alternatives''. I''ve been looking for some module which already deals with it, but I''ve not found any...

Hello Puppet list, I am taking over the puppet configuration of a sysadmin who left, and am having troubles deploying puppet to a new node. We are using puppet v2.7.3 both on the client and the puppetmaster, on Ubuntu 10.10. The node asks for a certificate fine, and I signed it on the puppetmaster. For the following logs extract I ve replaced the FQDN of my node by puppet.example.com. When doing

hi, Just thinking how i could manage ldap server with puppet, using dynamic configuration. I would follow the next step : In the manifest : install required packages for ldap server doing a ''site specific'' basic configuration, meaning pushing a custon /etc/<ldapbasedir>/slapd.d develop some ldap type, to tweak online the ldap server. I think this would only be used

I''m trying to make puppetlabs_spec_helper runs on Windows 7 to test my Puppet modules. Is this supported ? Because I encountered some problems: 1. symlinks were not created on Windows 7 (even if the functionnality are availabe). To manage that I added to rake_tasks.rb an ugly function: def make_link(source,target) ruby_platform =

Hi all, I am new to Puppet and now I do some test with 2 Virtual Machines running Centos 6.4 and puppet 3.3.1 And I manage to sign the client cert, but still I can not get any file updated on the client VM.

Hello Puppet Users ! We encounter a problem with the dashboard on this URI : /reports/changed The /reports works fine with ~130000 reports (up to 3 months and auto-cleaning with rake reports:prune job) I make a reports:prune:orphaned, juste in case, but without any success. The most recent change on the server was the puppetmaster upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.1.0. Here is the dashboard error log

Dear all I am looking for a solution for a module to define alle possible user and then install the one or more user from that module if needed on a server, but not all of them. My idea is something like this. Can I define a user in the nodes.pp at a special Server to install that user? init.pp class admin_user::group { group { "group1": gid => "888",

I''m a noob puppeteer. I''m following the directions here: http://shapeshed.com/setting-up-puppet-on-ubuntu-10-04/ I''m running two identical Ubuntu VMs. I can apparently set up the master ok. But, when I try to connect with an agent I get the following error from the agent: Error: Failed to apply catalog: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server

Morning All I''m trying to use Hiera with Puppet 3.0 to streamline some of my module configuration... However I''m having issues using the ''*%{::clientcert}*'' variable as part of the hierarchy... Currently, my *hiera.yaml* file looks like: --- :backends: - yaml - json :yaml: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata :json: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata

Hi all, We have a mixed Linux and Windows environment and have so far just been using Puppet on our Linux servers. Having configured the inventory service, we''ve got an auditing script that uses the data to report on things like OS version, RAM, etc. This is all so nice that we''d like to extend it to auditing our Windows infrastructure. However, at this point in time, we have

I''ve been using PuppetDB as an ENC for a while, but I haven''t really utilized it for stored configs or anything. I was mostly interested in replacing Dashboard''s reporting capabilities, but PuppetDB doesn''t yet do anything (that I can see) with reports. So I''m currently looking into setting up a separate Foreman server. I saw the script mentioned

This is the situation I have: All my hosts are the* same OS.* All my host are in the* same puppet environment,* so I cannot use %{environment} I have a module that sets all the *basic* functionality for the OS, resolution, authentication, security, packages, etc I have a module for each application hosted. At the moment all the ''data'' is in Puppet, mostly in parametrised

Hi to all rsync users. rsync's `--delete' option works fine in the following example: I'm sending all the content of /home/rodolfo from machine1 to /home/rodolfo in machine2: $ rsync --dry-run -vrtul --delete --exclude='/.*' . 192.168.0.2:/home/rodolfo , and --delete works perfectly. Instead, in this other example: $ rsync --dry-run -vrt --delete --modify-window=1 file1

Hello, Let''s consider the scenario when a client node in a puppet environment gets compromised. In case some of the puppet modules make decisions based on agent facts, these modules are potentially exposed to abuse from the malicious puppet agent. For example, if a class has: if $some_fact == ''some value'' { # deploy some configuration } then the compromised node

Hi all, There are rumours flying around about a supposed vulnerability in OpenSSH. Two details which I've seen mentioned many times are (a) that this exploit was used to break into a RedHat system running OpenSSH 4.3 plus backported security patches, and (b) that "recent" versions of OpenSSH are not affected; but it's not clear if there is any basis for these rumours. Given

Hi list, Does someone know a way to automatically store the hwaddress in the AD? I'm using Veyon in my school to manage the students PCs and if the hwadress is populated in the AD, the Room configuration can be set with AD otherwise i have to manage rooms manually. I'm using samba4 with bind and isc-dhcp-server are on the same server. Can we use scripts or some ways? thanks in advance

Hi, We currently use ldap ENC to set server role variables and extlookup to set domain or environment variables. I have a suggestion regarding ldap use as an ENC - if a node within ldap has the environment attribute set then it should inherit/mixin (if available) from a node named after it''s environment. It could be populated with only puppetVar type attributes so that any environment
