Hi Chris,

We have configured puppet to manage its own puppet.conf on clients, and to ensure that puppetd is running on all hosts. However it does not manage puppet.conf on the puppetmaster, so if we accidentally mess up the config, we won't break the puppetmaster.

The hostname of the puppetmaster is hard-coded, in our case. Can anyone think of a better way of identifying the puppetmaster, so our manifests will run anywhere, if we decide to make a different machine the puppetmaster?

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi,

Is there a general feel on whether puppet should look after its own
client configuration files and service status? I'd not foresee problems
about a "service ensure enabled" for puppetd and a file object for the
puppet.conf but clearly wouldn't want to risk locking ourselves out of
the clients from a bad config file being sent down etc.

Thanks

Chris
