[Puppet Users] Special file types

2009-02-27 Thread Ryan Steele
Does Puppet have any plans to make resource types for special files, such as FIFO pipes and sockets? Seems like a cleaner alternative to using an exec (e.g., running 'file' on the resource), and acting appropriately based on the returned result (e.g., running mknod). --~--~-~--~~-

Hey folks, I have a question regarding users with varying group memberships. If I have two several nodes, and on each node I need user FOO present, but in different groups, is the best approach to that an inheritance chain? For example, a base class 'users', and two other classes 'node1users'

[Puppet Users] Order of execution

2008-10-27 Thread Ryan Steele
It's been my understanding that the order in which resources are defined having no bearing on the order of execution. This would mean that the only way to ensure one resource is declared after or before another is with the use of certain metaparameters (e.g., before/ require and notify/subscribe)

Bah, copy and paste fail. I agree that uniformity is certainly something to go for, and something that will be addressed no later than the LDAP rollout. But, I think that piece-mealing my configs, as Andrew and Brian suggested, is probably the most prudent approach at the moment. Thanks to ever

After having put in no small amount of time in to trying to coerce Puppet into managing some decentralized users, I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible. I have a network in which some user attributes vary from node to node, such as UID, GID, and groups. However, short of a truckload of in

Hey folks, Over the past day or so, I've been working a lot with the ssh_authorized_keys module, but found what I believe to be several design flaws. I'd be interested to see if anybody else feels bound by the same limitations and lack of support for what I believe to be common use cases. I've
