The clients still check in every 30 minutes or so, but aren't downloading the new classes from the server, and they wil still be trying to download non-existant classes. I'm pushing out an upgrade of facter from 1.3.8 to 1.5.2, as of right now 500 out of 700 hosts have the new facter version, the

[Puppet Users] Re: Simplest setup not working

As Dave Nash mentioned, by default, Puppet tries to contact a host called "puppet" to receive it's configuration. It doesn't *necessarily* use DNS; a hosts file entry will work, as will other methods. You can configure the option on the command line with the --server option, or you can use /etc/p

"puppetd --server=YOUR PUPPET MASTER" should get you rolling. I believe by default puppet looks for a server named puppet in the DNS search path. --dn On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 2:41 PM, dd-b <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Following up to myself to add that I performed the obvious test of > trying

There is a lot to digest here but a quick correction on: # Red Hat / CentOS has puppet-0.24.4 and does not do the import magic. It could do the imports, but it requires import statements per file (not exactly making the module any more portable). I'm not sure what you mean by this as import m

[Puppet Users] certificate strategy for workstations

Hi, I am wondering how people are handling certificates for workstations whose names commonly change. I am using Puppet to manage Mac workstations. When they initially come on network, they haven't been named, dynamic dns has not updated and they have the potential to have name conflicts.

Looks like I spoke too soon, Puppet will use the default YAML in standard ruby and I did get my external nodes to work with that other array format. I wasn't familiar with that representation of arrays in yaml so the difference stuck out to me. What version of Puppet are you using? In your puppet
