For me, the killer app for storeconfigs is exported SSH host keys. That's information that my puppetmaster *doesn't* have in its manifests, and needs to collect from clients. That said, sshkey resources are giving me trouble in 0.24.8, with puppetd logging errors such as: puppetd[6170]: Got an uncaught exception of type ArgumentError: Field 'name' is required And unusual messages like: puppetd[6170]: Sshkey absent found in both parsed and parsed; skipping the parsed version I've not yet had time to track down this issue (and should probably do so in the 0.25 beta, anyway), but I wonder if anyone else has seen this. -- Ian Ward Comfort <icomf...@rescomp.stanford.edu> System Administrator, Student Computing, Stanford University --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
