Recently, through no obvious change that I can find, I started getting these messages on each puppet run on two hosts:

Each of these changes then triggers a refresh on the service that subscribes to the file. The systems are both running CentOS 5.3, with puppet 0.24.8, though I have other systems with same OS and puppet version that are including the same class, but not showing the same oddity. I've included the relevant puppet classes below; the nodes in question include the ntp_client class. Does anyone have any idea about what the heck might be going on? class ntp_base { package { ntp: ensure => installed } service { ntpd: enable => true, ensure => running, require => [Package[ntp], File["/etc/ntp.conf"], File["/etc/ntp/step-tickers"]] } } class ntp_client inherits ntp_base { file { "/etc/ntp.conf": ensure => file, owner => root, group => root, mode => 644, content => "restrict default ignore restrict 127.0.0.1 driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift broadcastdelay 0.008 authenticate yes keys /etc/ntp/keys restrict 130.215.144.33 nomodify notrap noquery restrict 130.215.32.18 nomodify notrap noquery restrict 130.215.39.18 nomodify notrap noquery server 130.215.144.33 server 130.215.32.18 server 130.215.39.18 ", require => Package[ntp], notify => Service[ntpd] } file { "/etc/ntp/step-tickers": ensure => file, owner => root, group => root, mode => 644, content => "130.215.144.33 130.215.32.18 130.215.39.18 ", require => Package[ntp] } } -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
