I use an external node classifier, in conjunction with settings like this: [puppetmasterd] environments = UNCONFIGURED,list,of,good,environments environment = UNCONFIGURED manifestdir = /etc/puppet/UNCONFIGURED # modulepath and manifest not set at this level [UNCONFIGURED] manifest = /etc/puppet/UNCONFIGURED/site.pp modulepath = /etc/puppet/UNCONFIGURED/empty-directory UNCONFIGURED/site.pp contains little more than a "fail" statement. My external node classifier forces environment = UNCONFIGURED for any client that it doesn't know about. I found that setting manifestdir to something that did not exist caused puppet to create it. I didn't try /dev/null, but I'd be afraid of puppet converting it from a device to a directory. --apb (Alan Barrett) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
