Re: [Hampshire] Is anybody here using puppet?

Portability was the biggest issue I've run into so far. e.g. I can use the "User" and "SSHAuthorizedKey" options on Linux and Solaris, but they fail to work fully under OpenBSD. (e.g. adding the user succeeds, but the password is never set.) Otherwise I think I've managed to resolve most of my outstanding queries via IRC & the documentation. It's just unfortunate that the primitives are still at the mercy of per-OS implementations. But providing the gaps in the implementation don't widen I may be able to muddle round!

[Hampshire] Is anybody here using puppet?
I've recently inherited ownership of a small network, and I'm interested in using puppet to control it. In the past I've used CFEngine with success, so perhaps I should stick to what I know. But it does seem that puppet offers a few nice things, and is the new-cool. The only obvious problem is that documentation is harder to find. Does anybody use puppet? Have any tips/recipes they'd care to share?
