We manage 750 CentOS boxes this way. We create a new server and/or compute node using SystemImager. That image includes /etc/puppet, but not /etc/puppet/ssl. /etc/rc.local is used to launch puppet, which then --when the key is signed-- begins the process of bringing the box in synch with the rest of the cluster. We yum-update the boxes from a frozen repo, and when the update is done a new image is taken and added to SytemImager. We step very lightly about yum-updates, especially if a reboot is required. ~Charles~ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
