well, generally you need to build your puppet modules so that the file they send to the client can be set specifically for one server (or group of servers, depending on your needs..) here's an example taken from a module for 'apt' (the whole file can be seen at https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/shared-apt/repository/revisions/master/entry/manifests/init.pp ): apt_conf { "02show_upgraded": source => [ "puppet:///modules/site-apt/${fqdn}/02show_upgraded", "puppet:///modules/site-apt/02show_upgraded", "puppet:///modules/apt/02show_upgraded" ] } so, here (for this example, let's name the host requesting the config file 'host1.example.com') puppet first tries to find something in the 'site-apt' module's files directory in the 'host1.example.com' subdirectory (i.e. 'site-apt/files/host1.example.com/02show_upgraded'). If there's nothing there (or the subdirectory doesn't exist), it'll try to get 'site-apt/files/02show_upgraded'. If this one is not there, its last resort is in the 'apt' module. So, it'll try to find a file in 'apt/files/02show_upgraded'. This way, you have one very generic file in the module, one way to change the generic file (by putting one in the site-apt module) and one way to set the config file's contents to be specific to one host. -- Gabriel Filion -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
