Hello all,

I am not positive that this happened in concurrence with my upgrading cobbler 
to 2.2.1 from the el5 2.0.11 version, but I haven't changed that much aside 
from that.

I was having problems before in that cobbler seemed to fire off the command to 
sign new puppet certs way too late, which I had never successfully figured out 
why.  Now it is not ever firing that task.

Now, however, cobbler is not removing old certs either.  I have the following 
puppet related settings in my /etc/cobbler/settings file, and cobbler sync 
doesn't generate any warnings.

puppet_auto_setup: 1
sign_puppet_certs_automatically: 1
puppetca_path: "/usr/sbin/puppetca"
remove_old_puppet_certs_automatically: 1

my puppet master is on the same machine as my cobbler server.  I don't see 
anything in the logs after december 16th indicating that cobbler has kicked off 
the puppetca tasks:

Fri Dec 16 15:35:09 2011 - INFO | running: ['/usr/sbin/puppetca', '--clean', 
'XXXX']
Fri Dec 16 16:14:07 2011 - INFO | running: ['/usr/sbin/puppetca', '--sign', 
'XXXX']

New machines brought online get their puppet cert added to the puppet master.

Any ideas where to look into this further?  The only change I have made to the 
puppet_register_if_enabled snippet is that I have the snippet load the correct 
auth.conf and puppet.conf files.  Reverting that change makes no difference in 
the cobbler->puppet interactions.

Thanks,

Jim Goddard

Hi,


using a RHEL6.2 and the current cobble in epel, 2.0.11-2,
a system object can be added, and is handled properly.

Using cobbler 2.2.1-1 from testing leads to this:

# cobbler system add --name=tester6 --profile=rhel6u2-x86_64
# cobbler system edit --name=tester6 --hostname=tester6 \
  --interface=eth0 --ip-address=10.0.100.6 \
  --subnet=255.255.255.0 --mac=00:ff:06:00:00:01 --static=1
# cobbler system dumpvars --name=tester6 |grep subnet_
subnet_eth0 : 
# cobbler system report --name=tester6 |grep Subnet
Subnet Mask                    : 255.255.255.0


Dumpvars is not presenting the netmask, also not 'getks'.
Performing the same steps with 2.0.11-2 everything works.
Accessing system objects that were created with 2.0.11-2 
after upgrade to 2.2.1-1 leads to the subnet still beeing
accessable.

Any ideas on what I could possibly be missing here?
Did not spot a related ticket on github yet, got aware of
this from a report from another cobbler user.


cheers, Christian

This is only true if your network is on a seperate vlan or physical 
network. Multiple subnets can coexist on a single vlan, in which case 
you would surely cause issues on the LAN.

You could also configure a dhcp server to respond only to known macadresses.

For the future, we definitely need to ensure that the various aspects of 
this are addressed in the documentation, as both principle and example.

The documentation is moving to a wiki, much of whose content originated 
from the existing big man page.  The main page regarding DHCP is:
    https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/DHCP%20management

I don't see any mention there of the considerations raised in this thread.

Dan, Pete, and Ger (as technical contributors to the thread): If you 
don't wish to update the wiki yourselves, I'm happy to try to 
consolidate any suggestions you may make or send to me.
