We have a large number of Macs that are using puppet to install
packages. The source of the packages is determined by the domain name
of the client. We are using ISC's dhcpd. The macs seem to pick up the
correct domain name from the dhcp server but facter is not picking it
up. If I type "domainnam

I am trying to setup a simple puppet config to pull a .dmg file off an
http server and install that package on to a mac laptop. I seem to
have the configuration working somewhat, but the package does not get
installed on the laptop.
I am trying to do a simple install of Firefox and have obtained
'err: //Node[default]/mac-firefox/
Pkg_deploy[Firefox3.0.6-1.dmg]/Package[Firefox3.0.6-1.dmg]/ensure:
change from absent to present failed:
Thanks again for your help.

It seems that I am damn close. Is it a problem with the dmg file? At
this point, I am using the dmg file off the Firefox web site.
Thanks for your help, it is very much appreciat
ocess of creating a package for use with
puppet?

I am wanting to use LDAP classes to determine what software packages
to install on various Mac. I have the puppet schema installed and have
populated a few puppetclass variables.
What I am looking for is some guidance on what the init.pp file would
look like basically 'CASE' on various puppetclas
nything on the puppet client machine? The fqdn
of the client matches the cn entry in my LDAP database.
Thanks,

I am having troubles finding the proper documentation that explains
how to access the elements in an array.
I have created a function that queries LDAP and returns an array of
packages that I will deploy using puppet. In my init.pp file I have
something like:
$packages = get_packages("cn=comput
a ruby routine that will
look at the nodes domain name and determine where the node's package
source will be.
We are still in the testing phase of the project and I am sure that
there will be changes, but using LDAP to determine package
installation will be a HUGE time and money saver fo

So are you wanting the cert cleaning and creation to happen everytime a
client contacts the puppetmaster?
What I am looking for is a script that will run on a newly imaged client
that run at bootup before the puppetd process is started. That script would
delete any cert on the puppetmaster and the

This is fantastic. I think something like this will be very useful in
managing a large number of Macintosh clients. It is certainly the help and
outcome that I was looking for when I started this thread. A big "Thank You"
