Subject really says it all. I took the practice exam linked from @PuppetLabs and I was a little bit surprised/caught-off-guard by the number of either PE or Console questions, neither of which I''ve ever used :-! I am taking the developer exam though, so I''m sure that will be at least a little different. Does it make sense to take the exam for an "open source puppet

I figured I''d take to time to remind you guys of the r/puppet subreddit: <http://www.reddit.com/r/puppet> I''m hoping to see it grow more in the lead-up to PuppetConf, mostly because I want to see some interesting blog posts and such before September ;) Cheers - R.

Hi again, From examples I have gleaned the following snippet for manifests/site.pp Package { provider => $operatingsystem ? { FreeBSD => freebsd, #FreeBSD => ports, debian => aptitude, redhat => up2date }} Are there providers documented somewhere? I''m not sure where to look, and I haven''t come across it in my

All Facebook API requests have a format option that can be set to JSON, which results in a response which is both faster (marginally so, but still) and uses a lot less bandwidth (http://flickr.com/photos/agentdero/1550274105, http://flickr.com/photos/agentdero/1551136674) Any chance of Facebooker supporting JSON?

I am trying to "dial" a GTalk, ie @gmail.com, address. I inscribed this address in jabber.conf on the buddy= line. Upon executing the Dial application, I hear only a brief brief ring, then nothing. What might be the trouble? As the Dial application starts trying, the JABBER chatter on the console includes some "INCOMING" entries that name IP addresses. The one with

How do folks feel about getting Puppet job listings on this list? I''ve rejected a few that we quite spammy, but when the subject matter really is a system admin with puppet experience, the decision becomes a bit different. I''m looking for general feelings. A simple +1 or -1 would be great. Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Hi, I am behind a firewall which does not permit connections to port 22, so I run my ssh server on port 23. :-) Unfortunately, the stupid firewall prints a few lines of junk when you make a connection to port 23 before actually starting the connection. This confuses ssh. Attached is an (ugly) patch against openssh-1.2pre15 which makes it ignore a configurable number of lines while looking for

I have just finished setting up a new asterisk system which is basically the same as our first system. We are using 7960 phones and I used the phone config files the first installation with appropriate changes. The problem is that on the new system I get no message lights, I can't figure this out. One thing I do notice is that when I monitor the sip debug on the second system the sip

A number of people have had difficulties subscribing and/or sending messages to the existing mailing list. Also I have to spend quite a bit of time moderating spam and the mailman interface is pretty clunky. So I was contemplating setting a Google Group up instead. Does anyone have any objections? -- James. http://blog.floehopper.org http://tumble.floehopper.org

Hi Larry, [please use reply-all to include the list - the NUT lists do not add a reply-to header.] On Oct 21, 2015, at 3:23 PM, Larry Baker <baker at usgs.gov> wrote: > > I use the NUT RPM package for CentOS 6.7, which is version 2.6.5-2. I admit I am not too familiar with the RH/CentOS family these days. Is there a CentOS site for keeping tabs on the NUT RPMs, or is it sufficient

I''ve been looking at the problem of jenkins plugins, and they seem to fit the custom package provider model vs a set of exec scripts in a module. It''s possible to get a list of versioned plugins that are present, and tell the system to install new ones, either from a source string, or a version (built from a URL), or central list of the plugins. The major problem I see is

When using Network neighbourhood, we do see the samba share. When clicking on it, it prompts us for 'Connect as' and 'password'. When entering the unix login and password, it returns an error message ' \\SambaServer\\share is not accessible; the account is not authorized to login from this station'. I have atached the smb.conf file. Thankyou again. Regards Tajinder

One of our FreeBSD boxes has a SCSI controller and disk, which showed problems earlier this week. There was a lot of of chatter from the SCSI driver in /var/log/messages and to the console. However, the console is unattended and we only discovered the problem subsequently because /var/log/console.log didn't show any of the chatter. console.log is otherwise working, and very helpful (e.g. it

I've got a problem with a samba installation performed by another user so details of the installation are not known but hopefully someone out there has run into the same problem and can give me some information on a possible fix. One of our Samba servers seem to be doing a significant amount of crosstalk with a couple of our other Windows NT servers, I haven't been able to pinpoint what

Hi, I've seen some chatter on NFS boards about kqueue being more reliable than inotify when used in NFSv3 and NFSv2. The chatter is a bit old so I don't know if it is true anymore. Anyone have pro/con experience with dovecot on the inotify/kqueue question when using NFS storage? I realize that kqueue is probably a bit slower and causes some delay with IDLE. Also, it may not really

Hi, I''ve been using btrfs for my root partition for about a month on archlinux and recently Ive started using the i3 window manager and starting X manually and I now boot to run level 3 (multi-user.target for systemd) and Ive noticed that booting archlinux on a btrfs root, there is a lot off hdd chatter after the login prompts are displayed, which doesnt happen with ext4 on root, so I

Well pointed out, Jim! It is infortunate that the documentation for options(digits=...) does not mention that these are *significant digits* and not *decimal places* (which is what Joshua seems to want): "?digits?: controls the number of digits to print when printing numeric values." On the face of it, printing the value "0,517" of 'ccc' looks like printing 4
