well, the thing is that the template get evaluated on the server, while the facts are sent from the client to the server, when puppet starts its run. So due to this order you'll never be able to deploy a file, parse its content and use that in templates withing the same run. As far as I understood is the mapping file deployed by puppet as well? So how do you generate the mapping file? Wouldn't it be possible to generate the config file with these values directly? Or how is the mapping file created? cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
