James, I'm no expert at external nodes, so I went and read: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ExternalNodes That doc still really doesn't say exactly what external nodes are. It's a way of storing node info in an external source such as MySQL or LDAP, right? Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
