[Puppet Users] Best of Breed Modules?

2013-09-27 Thread mark bradley
Well, I'm getting deeper and deeper into Puppet and loving it! I'm at the point, now, that I need to start standardizing on modules and I'm wondering whether someone can share their experience. I've been on Puppet Forge and there are so many modules to choose from! How do you go about selecting?

[Puppet Users] Scoping issue?

2013-09-21 Thread mark bradley
Hi, Yet another newbie question .. I'd appreciate any good references, too! I'm creating a class for managing users, and defining "my_user" as a convenience function that I've seen in many patterns. I'd like it to manage passwords if one is supplied to the function. class users::virtual { defi

Hi Rahul, Thanks for the reply! First of all, the problem is that the class that the node belongs to isn't being "realized" (that is, files that are installed on other nodes of that class aren't being installed on this problematic node). Also, I cannot find the --loadclasses option in http://doc

[Puppet Users] hostname appears in classes.txt

2013-09-12 Thread mark bradley
Although I have a node defined (puppet agent --test runs without error) the agent does not pick up files that it should be accessing and I've noticed that the hostname appears in classes.txt. Does anyone have a notion of what's happening? Could it be that my node isn't being recognized as belongin

[Puppet Users] learning, but puppet does not detect change
