cfengine examples?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can point me too a fairly extensive setup using FAI and cfengine2. I'm in the process of learning both systems. I read somewhere that cfengine has no variables? Thomas can you clarify? Walter

AW: cfengine error during fai-based install
Hallo Michael! Yes, im sure squid is successful installed include running the postinst script. The Part which I did not posted works successful with cfengine. I replace strings in the squid.conf with ReplaceAll. Like: ReplaceAll "^\# http\_port 3128" With "http_port 8080" In the last days i try to setup cgengine2 to resolve the problem. but cfengine2 wont not successful install with fai or after the first reboot. i use this to install cfengine correctly, but not beautiful but works: apt-get install cfengine2 agt-get remove cfengine2 apt-get install cfengine2 <- now dpkg starts to configure cfengine !

But back to your question: Are you sure, squid has been installed and configured completely before your cfengine script is run for the first time?

cfengine error during fai-based install
Hi list i a newbie in debian, fai and cfengine (formely suse, without wonderful fai and cfengine) and need now some hint to resolve this problem. For setup my squid i use this cfengine config: BeginGroupIfNoLineMatching "^acl proxy\_lan src 10.150.1.247" LocateLineMatching "^http\_access allow localhost" InsertLine "acl proxy_lan src 10.150.1.247" InsertLine "http_access allow proxy_lan" EndGroup During the install with fai, cfengine log this: Edit: Search for ^acl proxy\_lan src 10.150.1.247 failed. Current line still 3 (Begin Group - no line matching ^acl proxy\_lan src 10.150.1.247) Edit: Search for ^http\_access allow localhost failed. Current line still 3 cfengine: LocateLineMatchingRegexp failed in /tmp/target/etc/squid/squid.conf, aborting editing cfengine: End editing /tmp/target/etc/squid/squid.conf ..... cfengine: Edited file /tmp/target/etc/squid/squid.conf SQUID/140-squid OK. But this is the same config when i start cfengine before the reboot: demo:/etc/cfengine# cfengine -v -f /fai/scripts/SQUID/140-squid Edit: Search for ^acl proxy\_lan src 10.150.1.247 failed. Current line still 1 (Begin Group - no line matching ^acl proxy\_lan src 10.150.1.247) Edit: Search ended at line 1874 Edit: (Found http_access allow localhost) Inserting acl proxy_lan src 10.150.1.247 Inserting http_access allow proxy_lan (End Group) cfengine: End editing /tmp/target/etc/squid/squid.conf ..... cfengine: Edited file /tmp/target/etc/squid/squid.conf Whats wrong ??? Install anyone cfengine2 with fai? the pre or post config-script gets an sed-editor error and the debconf settings will not correct apply. Thanks Martin

does some of you has already experiment such situation ?

Hmmm. I'm using an intermediate debmirror for those tasks.
On my desktop machine (which is still wasting bandwidth by querying
ftp.fu-berlin.de), 1.6.5-1 would be shown by apt-cache showpkg cfengine,
but the machines using the miror would report
1.6.5-2(/var/lib/apt/lists/faiserv1_i_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/dpkg/status)
This is somewhat strange. The mirror synchronizes with ftp2.de.debian.org,
and (of course) keeps not only sarge but testing and unstable as well.
Looking into the mirror's repository I find
phobos:/data/debian/mirror-i386/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386# grep
cfengine Packages
Package: cfengine
Suggests: cfengine-doc
Filename: pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
This is puzzling... looking deeper into it:
phobos:/data/debian/mirror-i386/debian# grep /cfengine_1 */*/*/*/Packages
dists/etch/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-1_i386.deb
dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
Huh? Why does stable show -1, while sarge lists -2?
Have to investigate.
Looks like I invited a lot of trouble - I guess this wouldn't be the only
problem :-(((

I ran into this yesterday when I had to install an emergency replacement
for a failed server. Thanks to FAI this would only take 20 minutes, but this
time I got lots of errors during the config part.

What first confused me was that packages.debian.org still lists 1.6.5-1
for stable, and 1.6.5-2 for testing - which isn't true (I installed a pure
sarge system, and got 1.6.5-2 during the fai run. Had to manually downgrade
to 1.6.5-1 since fai installs would fail with 1.6.5-2 --- so the problem
isn't limited to softupgrades :-((( )
Note that 1.6.5-[12] have been submitted two years apart...

That's probably the way to go. I will look in the BTS whether there's
something to add...

Ok, I will do so. I'd expect a change of the (Debian) revision not to break so
many things, but judging from #311276 not only one thing is broken...

It does. softupdate runs well with cfengine 1.6.5-1. We should file a bug
report against cfengine. Bug #311276 looks similar.

Are you by chance using the version from the version from the testing
distribution (1.6.5-2)? As I got the errors too, but only on some of my hosts, I
tried the version from stable (1.6.5-1), and this solved the problem for me!
If it solves the problem for you too, we should file a bug report against
cfengine.

fai 2.8.4 / cfengine scripts segfaults
Hi,
during my latest softupdate I got an error processing my cfengine scripts. The
log states:
/usr/bin/fai-do-scripts: line 173: 23726 Segmentation fault ./$file
--no-lock -v -f $file -D${cfclasses} >>$LOGDIR/cfengine.log 2>&1
Removing the --no-lock option from fai-do-scripts let the softupdate run
without any errors.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
fai: 2.8.4
cfengine: 1.6.5

Please file a bug in the Debian BTS - that makes it easier to find all the
patches that should be added to the next release of FAI.

fai, softupdate and cfengine scripts
Hi,
if you use fai softupdate, having cfengine scripts containing something like
files:
any::
${target}/etc/cron.daily/calamaris mode=0600 act=fixall
you will find your / chmod 0600.
The problem: ${target) will be replaced by / during softupdate and cfengine
seems to have problems with files like //etc/cron.daily/calamaris. The cfengine
log states:
Checking file(s) in //etc/cron.daily/calamaris
cfengine: / had permission 755, changed it to 700
The solution comes as a patch:

fai-setup, woody & cfengine
dear fai users, while trying to set up a fai server, we encountered the following problem when running fai-setup. ... >Automatically converting /etc/network/interfaces succeeded. >Old interfaces file saved as interfaces.dpkg-old. >hostname: Host name lookup failure >Creating base.tgz >Upgrading /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot >Adding additional packages to /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot: >portmap dhcp-client file rdate cfengine bootpc wget rsh-client less dump >ext2resize strace hdparm parted dnsutils grub ntpdate psmisc >dosfstools sysutils dialog libdetect0 discover mdetect read-edid kudzu hwtools >E: Package cfengine has no installation candidate a quick search in the mailing list archive revealed that we are not the only ones who have seen this error. in fact, we came across at least two replies by thomas lange, where he indicates that the debian mirror used may not be set up correctly. a quick look at our debian archives (as well as those on sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch and ftp.debian.org) showed that while a cfengine package for woody/i386 is indeed available (in the pool directory), it is not referenced in the corresponding Packages file which we believe to be ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages is this an error in the archive? if so, what, if anything, is to be done about it? cfengine is included in sarge, but after doing a dist-upgrade, we are now missing the package libdetect0, which we confirmed to have been removed from the distribution. how should we proceed? any help is appreciated, kind regards, vincent kraeutler

Yes. If scripts/CLASSXX is a directory, all scripts
(bash,cfengine,perl,...) in this directory matching S[0-9]* are
executed in numeric order. See templates/scripts/NETWORK/ for an
example.

scripts, cfengine vs. bash
Is there an accepted mechanism by which one can have both a bash script and a cfengine script for the same class. Say have ./scripts/CLASSXX.sh and ./scripts/CLASSXX ? Thanks, Bruce.
