Exemple. I install 20 server on differents place and i allow peaple to add, start programme like samba The person want to add apache. He just have to connect the web interface and ask for samba. the web interface create an empty file /etc/puppet/install/samba and puppet do the job to install a working samba from the puppet master. SO I do not have to manage my puppetmaster fqdn to add samba and every one is happy. > > > > > > > thanks for your help. > > > > regards > > > > > > > > > Cheers, > Teyo > > > > -- > Teyo Tyree :: www.reductivelabs.com :: +1.615.275.5066 > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
