Anyone ever implimented cfengine on 4.x ? I am just looking for background and if there are any traps to fall into? thanks

I''m, still, working on converting my cfengine configs into puppet; one of the major hang-ups is the lack of any find/replace in puppet. So for those of you who are using FreeBSD and puppet, how do you manage you rc.conf? -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--

Greetings, Our environment consists of about 600 Redhat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5, and soon 6 servers. We use cfengine 2 currently, but plan on migrating to puppet. Right now, we have our root-owned cfengine client running every 15 minutes from cron contacting a single cfservd server. Additionally, our employees start their own cfengine and puppet instances on on some servers running under

Hello, I''ve recently begun looking at Puppet as an alternative to Cfengine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Besides the information posted on the Puppet website, are there any critical differences between Puppet and Cfengine? 2) Does Puppet allow for client-specific file text manipulation. For instance, in Cfengine I can add a line of text to a file if the line doesn''t

The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing??

Hey folks, I have a problem with the definition of a variable of type slist in CFEngine on # uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release Linux policyhub.example.com 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 21:09:27 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) I'm not sure if its valid to ask CFEngine questions on this mailing list, but as far as I'm running on

How do admins handle a situation with many boxes like 50 for example. If I wish to tell 50 boxes to run a handful of commands - how is that done? (I mean without actually logging into 1,2,3,4...X and executing the commands) Thanks, Jerry

Hello there. Just to let you know i have just put in production mode puppet on 41 freeBSD 4.7 virtual servers (yes not real servers but "jailed ones"). I had some little problems with facter at first but i have manualy upgraded the servers that where affected by the little "facter does not read his facts" problem i had. I should have missed something in my deploiement.

I would like to write atom% 15N in the ylab of a plot - "15" should be written as superscript. How do I put "%" into the expression? It does not work if I type "%" directly after "atom" in the expression below. plot(1:10, ylab = expression(atom^15*N)) Best regards, Thomas Larsen [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Is there an equivalent to cfrun in puppet. On the cfengine master you can do the command cfrun <hostname> which allows you to tell the cfengine client to run. This is useful for immediately pushing changes out immediately (or telling the client to pull). Chris

Hello All, I have a question. Has anyone done any work with Samba to create any modules that would allow the indexing of the files in all the directories and sub directories of it's shared folders? While you can use a Windows computer to do the search for you through the find files/folders start menu option, I was wondering if anyone has any notes about creating search apps for

Hello fellow community members! I just joined you in order to find an information about how to start using Puppet... Currently we use cfengine for our legacy system containing several OS platforms, including physical and virtual servers. For fresh new hardware and OS versions we decided to go with Puppet due to it''s growing popularity (wow, 4082 members of this group only!).

Hi All, I have hunted high and low and tried dozens of things but have yet to achieve the result I require. Below is my code (taken mostly from another thread on here) thus far: files<-list.files() files<-files[grep('.wm4', files)] labels<-gsub('.wm4', '',files) for(i in 1:length(files)){ X<-read.table(files[i]) <My problem is here!> What I am trying

I need to know how to do the following in puppet. Say I have three classes, (c1,c2,c3) that are not related. These classes could be considered "attributes" that may or may not apply to an individual host on my network. I need to know how to write a manifest, or series of manifests to allow me trigger a command (call it ''foo'') if all three classes are defined. I also

Is there a problem with the WINEDEBUG environment variable in 20050830? I've only been using Wine for a little over a week. I recognize that the online documentation is somewhat out of date with the introduction of the winecfg tool and use of the registry. I know that the WINEDLLOVERRIDES variable still works as I've been able to use that to use native libraries to get Pegasus

There are a couple of niggles with the sandboxing of the unprivileged child in the privsep code: the empty directory causes namespace pollution, and it requires care to ensure that it is set up properly and remains set up properly. The patch below (against the portable OpenSSH, although the patch against the OpenBSD version is very similar) replaces the fixed empty directory with one that is

Hi, Gang.. The Subject: line says it all. My organisation is looking at selecting a configuration management system.

Hi During a 'normal' install i have to add a bunch of users and modify some files such as DNS, Syslog, ssh key files etc While i can do this with a shell script post install it would be VERY neat to just have all these changes packaged up into an rpm and i can then just rpm -i this post install. Can i do this and if so can anyone point me to a how-to that would help me through the
