Hey, good post. I think this is not specific to Mac OS though, unless some of the links point to Mac OS specific problems. Sorry, I didn't follow all of the links; there are kind of a lot of them :) Anyway, just my two cents. -- Chris On 07/23/2010 08:47 PM, Trevor Menagh wrote: Hi all, I a

If you run Passenger or Mongrel, I would consider "ease" to be relative. I've run Puppetmasters under both OSes and find them both relatively easy. Of course if you deploy servers WITH Puppet, then the point is pretty moot. Gary On Saturday, July 24, 2010, Thomas A. McGonagle wrote: > Hey Tre

Hey Doug, I double checked your example. It doesn't work for me either. I think it is a bug too, and not something you are doing. By the way, a define still works great :) -Tom Thomas A. McGonagle t...@dataero.com Google Voice: 617-229-5185 On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 11:55 AM, Brice Figureau w

Hi I know this is not really a Puppet question . I have a set up where I install a base system, create a user (firstuser) using puppet and things are fine. Some time down the line I install the ubuntu-desktop which installs its own set of packages But I am not able to login as firstuser wh
