I don't think my approval matters much at all and I'm a fan of whatever works for the problem at hand given the tools we have today. I can totally see the value of a function that automatically figures out if a remote port is _actually_ open and listening, rather than _should_ be open and listening, from the perspective of the Puppet master. With that said, I'm more interested in the problem David is facing than I am in a specific solution solution because I'm pretty sure Puppet doesn't have the capability to solve this in a elegant, simple and easy way. We can solve it with a custom function or custom fact today, but I'd like to make this easier for everyone in the future. -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
