Hi All,
I'm running Puppet in masterless mode and trying to make Puppet dashboard
play nice with it in this non-standard setup.
I'd love to hear how other people are doing this. The process I have in

I am using Puppet 3.2.4 and I'd like Puppet to manage /etc/hosts for me and

For example ($::city and $::country are custom facts):

Hi All,
I just ran into a frustrating Augeas problem, which I thought I'd share

we're interested in) from various places such as rpmforge, EPEL, etc.
This morning I tried to build a VM and it failed. What happen

Hi All,
Simple question (hopefully). Say I have this:
common.yaml:
foo:
bar: 10GB
... and in the manifest:
$config = hiera('foo')
file { '/etc/foo.conf':
content => template('module/foo.erb')
}
... and in foo.erb:
file_size: <%= @config['bar'] %>
For some reason, the output in /etc/f

Thanks for your feedback. While writing the original email, the subject

Hi All,
In our environment, we use the $::environment variable extensively to
determine if the host should have one set of mounts (e.g. production) or a
different set of mounts (e.g. qa). This is just one example, but there are
many others where the $::environment variable comes into play.

Hi All,
Strange problem specifically to do with mounts. When I run Puppet for the
first time on a server, occasionally everything will get applied except for
mounts, and other times mounts are applied as part of the first run. No
errors in /var/log/messages unfortunately.

You could do a for loop from 0 to N (5?) and check if the variable exists (if

In my set-up, I've got a cron job that triggers a Puppet run every 20

Hi All,
As per the subject, "puppet cert list --all" is showing a heap of revoked
certificates, even though they're not actually revoked. I can go on any of
the revoked clients' host and trigger a Puppet run, and it'll work fine.
The only reason why they appear revoked is because the systems were

Hi All,
I have a particular requirement where a Puppet managed group needs to have
several members that are either local and not managed by Puppet (e.g.
mysql) or they reside in LDAP.
Apart from running an exec call to "groupmems", is there another way to
achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
How would I go about achieving the following?

In the "motd" module, I have a template that formats a standard /etc/motd

Somewhat related to this, is there a way for Puppet to source files in this

Just to avoid having the same directory structure under
