Hi - I've scoured the mailing list archives as well as other help sources online and haven't figured out what my problem is or what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Scenario: I have a samba 3.5.5 server running on CentOS 5.5. This system is a member of an Active Directory domain. FYI, I am not the domain administrator, but I am an OU admin and can create

I''m trying to get a new file server managed by puppet from day 1, at least as much as possible. At the moment, though, there''s two issues I''m running into: 1. fstab should have entries for my comically-large RAID, but doesn''t. 2. each puppet run appears to remount the RAID, even when no rules in the manifest change. I suspect the issue may be in parsing

So I have two classes for openvz setup. The first is openvz::setup and it sets up the box for OpenVZ.. then another class (in same .pp file) called openvz::master sets up the config for the main system (as opposed to a VE). The error I see is that the openvz::master class is executed (and fails) becuase it doesn''t seem to load up the setup class? debug: Calling puppetmaster.getconfig

Hi, I have a template file which I would like to append to an existing file (in this case I wish to add a few lines to /etc/motd). Unless I''ve missed it, it does not appear that file has an append option.

I?ve google and searched, and have had very little luck... I have: 1. Installed all the packages. 2. Configured and have running OpenLDAP. 3. Migrated my passwd/shadow/group/hosts files into the directory 4. Tested the directory using ldapsearch 5. Installed LAM (web interface to LDAP authentication) 6. Added a user using LAM. 7. Confirmed user is in directory. 8. Confirmed user is not in

Not that I''m much of a Solaris guy, and definitely not a Solaris 10 guy, but since nobody else had posted anything yet: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetSolaris#Solaris10 The good news is that it appears to be a completely hands-off puppetd installation. Just sign the client key afterwards on the puppetmaster and you''re set. The bad news is that it''s

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was made aware of puppet a few weeks ago and I really like the way things are working. What I liked at cfengine was the capability to push content from the central server to any node. There was no need to open a port from DMZ or any other remote system to the central server. Is there a similar way within puppet? How is this solved by other

Hi all, I''m a new puppet user and I''m running into some weirdness around creating users on solaris. (puppet version 0.23.2) The virt_all_users way of managing users seems pretty reasonable, but I don''t see how to deal with user specific groups with that. I have: class virt_all_users { @user { "seph": ensure => "present",

Hi, I''m still writing my djbdns module, I came to the following design issue with master and slave tinydns. Normally there is no such master and slave distinction in djbdns: all tinydns instance are equal. Usually one instance on one host is considered the master on, which the RR are changed, and when you need to propagate them, you rsync the datas to the other hosts, where they will be

I''m trying to create a virtual host file only if the document root directory exists. It doesn''t look like puppet is seeing the require metaparameter. Currently, the file is being created whether or not the document root directory exists. What is the best way to currently do this? I''m trying to create a file called site1.conf in /apps/apache/conf.d only if

Hi I am trying to push populate /home & subdirectories from the puppet server to all the Linux clients. I managed this with cfengine using rsync. But I am not sure how do I achieve this in puppet, do we have any inbuilt function for this. Also, is there a function for userdel like for useradd (user) groupadd(group). Any suggestion is appreciated. -- Deepak

** High Priority ** I have SAMBA on a Unix server. I have 8 pc's running Win 2000. All of these work properly. Mapping a drive to the unix server is no problem. I got a new pc in, and I can not get it to map to the unix. I get the error message : The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred.....The account is not authorized t log in from this

Hello, I''m new to puppet and facter. Initially we are planning on using facter/puppet to inventory machines (Mac, Ubuntu, and RHEL). We plan on writing a number of custom facts. Obviouly some of the facts will only be specific to some OSs. I know there is a "confine" method, but it confuses me. It seems the confine statement in some of the recipes and in the Turnbull book is

I''m guessing this is a common use case, but I wasn''t able to find anything in the site FAQ. We''re looking at using Puppet on about 100 servers to control which user groups have access to which servers. The use case is as follows: We have Groups of servers, for example: CUSTOMERservers (serverA, serverB, ...,serverK) ADMINISTRATIVEservers

This appears to be working for me, but suggestions on improvements are welcome: master/manifests/definitions/stowedpackage.pp: > define stowedpackage ( $basepackage, $version, > $rsyncserver=''gold.cae.tntech.edu'', > $rsyncmodule=''metastow'', > $stowdestdir=''/usr/local/stow'' ) { > > file { stow_initiator:

I won''t claim it''s all done to the best style, but it does appear to work. Can someone take a look at http://blogs.cae.tntech.edu/mwr/2007/08/02/the-new-file-server-puppet-and-modules/ and give suggestions? It''s a bit more extensive than the example on the wiki at ModuleOrganization, and might make a decent jumping-off point for others. -- Mike Renfro / R&D

It''s my understanding that if a file exists under a directory on the puppet client but doesn''t exist under directory on the puppet server server and puppet manages that directory on the client, that it won''t delete that file on the client. I''m trying to keep certain directories synchronized with the puppet server,. It seems that the standard file operations

Hello, I am currently using R to run an external program and then read the results the external program sends to the stdout which are tsv data. When R reads the results in it converts it to to a list of strings which I then have to maniuplate with a whole slew of commands (which, figuring out how to do was a reall challenge for a newbie like myself)--see below. Here's the code I'm

Hello, we want to plot a proportional symbol map with ggplot. Symbols' area should have the same proportions as the scaled variable. Hereby an example we found on http://www.r-bloggers.com/bubble-chart-by-using-ggplot2/ . In this example we see the proportions of the symbols' area are different from the proportions of the scaled variable: crime <-

"The important thing to understand about how schedules are currently implemented in Puppet is that they can only be used to stop an element from being applied, they never guarantee that it is applied." A schedule does not say this will happen this often, it says this can not happen more than this often. Thus with the default half hour updates the proposed schedule would not have any
