Yes, that will be great when require for classes comes in.
With this I can much more control, how puppet evaluates the configuration.

Yes, that's what my patch was doing.
I'll resurrect the patch and post it to puppet-dev this week-end.

Have you recently upgraded Puppet and/or Facter? If so,  you are hitting 
the same Facter bug that I did with EL4.  Essentially, Facter hangs 
trying to read /proc/uptime and /proc/virtual (on my XenU guests). You 
should try the new Facter 1.5.5RC1 which has the fixes for these to see 
if that resolves the problem.

I actually had to manually fix all my servers because Puppet had 
stopped working. Also, when upgrading Facter, make sure you restart 
Puppet (if you're running a daemon), otherwise you can also run into 
problems I've discovered.

Hope that helps,
Avi

[Puppet Users] Re: Managing core files using coreadm (Solaris + Puppet)

[martin]

Greg,

knowing better than to mess with (readable) but unpublished
interfaces. /etc/coreadm.conf clearly states that you shouldn't edit
file directly, which means that they can introduce a new field in a
patch, which may get you into a world of hurt :)

I use option number 2) - the overhead really isn't that much, but if
you want to get it down as much as possible:
create a new type which runs "coreadm" without any options (which
outputs the contents of /etc/coreadm.conf) and parse that, and adjust
the incorrect values.

cheers,
/Martin

[Puppet Users] Re: variable scope with define and friends...

[Ohad Levy]

replying to myself...

so it seems the problem is not the varialbe scope, rather then the template
function.
the following code works:

node default {
include a
include b
}

class a {
$dirs = ""
dir{["/tmp","/tmp/a","/tmp/b"]: before => File["/tmp/dirs"]}
}
class b {
file{"/tmp/dirs": content => $a::dirs}
#file{"/tmp/dirs": content => template("/tmp/dirs.erb")}
}

define dir() {
$a::dirs += " $name"
file {$name: ensure => directory }
}


if anyone has any idea how to make this work with a template, that would be
great.

Thanks,
Ohad

I don't think puppetview will cut it for us, because we have 5
puppetmasters storing configs to a central server.

I've given up on trying to find the magic set of gem versions that
puppetshow wants, and will just hack something up myself, which I
think is the state of the art in puppet reporting. :-)

[Puppet Users] puppet show looks different in a slide

[Dan Bode]

Hi,

In a slide from 2008 from a presentation (from Luke) entitled

Puppet: How and Why

I found a slide with a view of puppetshow that provides tabs for
changes,failures, etc

This is quite different from the puppetshow app that I checked out from git,
which has facts, hosts, resources.

Did I miss something?

thanks,

Dan

I know this is on Reductive's radar and some work has been done I think.

terminals/thought-powered remote control systems powered by
room-temperature superconductors?

[Puppet Users] Puppet as a pki

[Nat]

I am thinking about using puppet to manage my ssh keys,
after all puppet is connected to all my servers and has access
to them. I think it could make a good fit.

Has anyone managed to use puppet as a form of pki (public key
infrastructure)? any thoughts
you would like to share, be they good bad or indifferent.

I have looked at the authorized_keys example on the puppet wiki
and had a play around with it. It looks like a good start at
getting things going in the right direction.

Obviously we all want to automate as much as possible
and for me specifically adding in accounts to the manifest
is too much work. What I was thinking was doing something like
creating a fact that gets run on my home directory NFS server, for
example
the following are the exported homes on my nfs server

/exporthomes/
user1/
user2/
user3/
...

Could I have a fact return the list of directory names, which then
get used by the ssh manifest? is this a reasonable way to do this?

This will save having to explicitly add new people to the manifest
when we get a new starter, since by the definition of adding a user
it will create the homedir. As such on the next puppet run their
public and private key will be generated, and once the user
logs on to their workstation they will get the home directory
mounted and be able to log in to whatever their login class
is allowed.

Another issue I am grappling with is setting up the root account
for each server we provision, the way I see it we can create an
individual root key pair for each server or just push out the
same keys to all servers.

Thanks

These are great. I was looking for a Vim syntax and something for  
logcheck.

In the LDAP schema, I noticed the note about fake OIDs. It wouldn't be  
hard at all to get a PEN for Reductive Labs so you could provide real  
OIDs. Just request it here:

   

I did it for $employer. It was quick and free.

[Puppet Users] Puppet deployment and upgrading itself?

[Allan Marcus]

I just got approval to deploy puppet to about 1500 Macs! Now I have to  
actually do it.

I'm considering two options. We have a security tool we use that is a  
Mac application and is already installed on all our Macs. Since it's a  
Mac app, it's basically a folder (a .app folder). I'm wondering if I  
can just install puppet into the .app directory, that way our  
configuration management and security configuration tool are together.

So, question 1: is this a good or bad idea?

Question 2: If I push out a new version of our app with Puppet, what  
will happen when puppet essentially updates itself?

Thanks,

Unless you're including all the Ruby dependencies... this strikes me
as a bad idea.

We install puppet to the standard location, and simply tell puppet to
ensure that versions of the puppet pkg are installed. No problems so
far.

Nice ! Thanks for pointing that out.

I noticed that the vim syntax highlight file defines "site" as a
keyword along with "class", "define" and "node". Any idea what language
feature this might be ? I can't find anything relevant in the wiki...

Paul Nasrat also mentions this in this blog post:
http://nasrat.livejournal.com/51482.html

I would have a couple of improvements to suggest for puppet.vim. Shall I
follow wiki:DevelopmentLifecycle or just send a patch to James
Turnbull ?

Marc

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppetshow defunct?

[jrojas]

I have a version of puppetshow that I threw together based off of the
original (minus the hobo and other crazy gems)
I will sanitize it tonight and try to get it on github.

I hope you don't mind, I sent off a small series of patches for very
minor issues in the vim syntax to puppet-dev just now, and included
one to remove the extraneous 'site' definition after you mentioned it
in #puppet.  Then I opened my mail and saw your message. :)

FWIW, there's an open bug to add the vim syntax (and emacs mode) files
to the Fedora/EPEL packages.  How to do that in the most clean and
maintainable way is up for debate.  If you have thoughts on that,
chime in on the bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/491437

[Puppet Users] How to bypass the default provider

[MattAckerman]

Howdy,

Sorry if this a dupe, I am new to the puppet list.

I am trying to override the provider for a package and simply use wget
in all cases to retrieve an rpm.

I have tried this:

class foo::bar:quiz {
package {
"fancy-package":
ensure => installed,
source => "http://yum/yum/repo/5/i386/
verycoolrpm..noarch.rpm"
}


However the node is still attempting to use apt-get (which fails)

The node in question does not support yum at all. (It 's a customized
appliance type linux)

Any ideas how I can force the provider to wget in all cases? Note that
this does work on some hosts and not on others.

Thanks in advance puppet guru's :)

-Matt

[Puppet Users] Multiple providers issue

[Matt Ackerman]

I am having a problem with multiple package providers. I am attempting to 
install a rpm and I want the system to always use rpm as the provider. However 
on a large number of systems, the host wants to use apt instead. This doesn't 
work in my environment.

How can I force a host to only use rpm? I have tried setting the "source" and 
"provider in the package reference, however it simply ignores me.

The most frustrating part of this is, it seems to arbitrarily pick a provider. 
Sometimes it works with rpm, sometimes something else.

How does puppet handle multiple providers? Does it just flip a coin? :)

Thanks in advance.

-Matt

We are working to migrate the Trac wiki but due to Teyo's jet-setting
lifestyle and my need to work so I can eat it's a slow process.  I think
we're almost there though and if we can fiddle with the migration
process a little in the next few weeks it should be pretty much done.
