This looks like more of a result of using grep.
If you call facter with operatingsystem, you are asking for just the
operating system. If you call facter without any arguments, it gives you
everything, then you are grepping for anything that contains the continuous
stream of letters "operatingsystem", whether or not it is a separate word or
not. That would happen with any program, facter or not.

I need to be able to include a line in a template, based on presence and value of a variable, something like this: # file.erb blah blah blah <% if role == "fast" -%> this line is here now <% end -%> I only want the line to be included if $role exists and is equal to fast.

[Puppet Users] class dependencies
How can I have a module/class that is dependent on another class?
Say, /etc/puppet/modules:
module1
module2
in module2/manifests/init.pp
class module2 {
file { # blah blah blah
require => Class["module1"],
}
package { }
}
Usually this gives me an error (can't remember what; I'm writing this from
home, and I use it at work).
If this isn't enough information for a proper question, I can reply to this
message tomorrow after testing to get the error message again.
Right now to get around it I just have my main class including several other
classes, but because of the dependencies, some of them fail the first time
around, but succeed after running a second time and one of the other
conditions had been met from the previous run (like an installed package or
something). It is not the way I want to do it, of course, but I've still
been experimenting with different things.

[Puppet Users] puppet+augeas modprobe.conf
I need to be able to add:
alias usb-storage off
to /etc/modprobe.conf
I have this so far:
augeas { "usb-storage":
context => "/files/etc/modprobe.conf",
changes => [ "set alias[last()+1] usb-storage",
"set alias[last()]/modulename off",
],
onlyif => "get alias != usb-storage"
}
The change works, but the onlyif part does not.
augtool> print /files/etc/modprobe.conf/alias[*]
/files/etc/modprobe.conf/alias[1] = "eth0"
/files/etc/modprobe.conf/alias[1]/modulename = "vmnics"
/files/etc/modprobe.conf/alias[2] = "scsi_hostadapter"
/files/etc/modprobe.conf/alias[2]/modulename = "mptbase"
/files/etc/modprobe.conf/alias[3] = "scsi_hostadapter1"
/files/etc/modprobe.conf/alias[3]/modulename = "mptscsih"
/files/etc/modprobe.conf/alias[4] = "char-major-14"
I need to be able to detect if usb-storage already exists as a module name,
so I don't add the alias line multiple times. I've tried several things,
but none of them seem to do what I want.
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm still experimenting, and if I find an
answer, I'll post it.
Thanks
