If this is a new node being created through some sort of automation procedure (kickstart, etc..) I'd look into generating your certs. You can then, as part of the procedure, simply copy them to your puppet client & server. This is how we do it within kickstart, which was actually pretty easy to s

[Puppet Users] Checking the status of puppetd run

Hi all, I setup a puppetmaster host and several clients. I don't want them to do "stuff" in the background, but just when I tell them to. So for this reason I'm running puppetd manually like this: puppetd --server $SERVER --ignorecache --verbose --onetime --no-daemonize Question 1: when I ru

Could it be since you are not specifying a environment (puppetd --test --environment=development) that you have not defined your modulepath = /etc/puppet/modules at a global level that there is no idea where to find them? Thanks, derek On 2/4/10 10:06 AM, byron appelt wrote: I am trying to g

Thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't seem to be it. The environment is specified in the client puppet.conf, but I also tried specifying it on the command line as you suggested as well as specifying the module path at a global level. Neither produced any change. Any other ideas how i might tr

Unless I'm missing something, we kind of have a fatal flaw with using plugins in modules with environments when it comes to making those same plugins available to the puppetmaster itself. If you're deploying a custom type/provider with the plugins in modules model, you still need to make these plu
