[Puppet Users] How to assure that puppet service starts after puppetserver and puppetdb
We are running Opensource Puppet 4.10.10 on a VM. When booting the VM the puppetserver, puppetdb, mcollective all come up fine. But a systemctl status puppet shows that it could not run, maybe because the pupperserver was not up yet. Any way to assure that it starts later? We tried to changed /lib/systemd/system puppet.service and puppetserver.service with Before and After statements but to no avail. A systemctl restart puppet starts up the service correctly. Thanks for any hints. Here is the output for systemctl status puppet after boot: ● puppet.service - Puppet agent Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/puppet.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2018-02-13 09:46:31 EST; 50s ago Main PID: 1342 (puppet) Tasks: 2 Memory: 131.3M CPU: 12.333s CGroup: /system.slice/puppet.service └─1342 /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/puppet agent --no-daemonize Feb 13 09:46:36 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1342]: Starting Puppet client version 4.10.10 Feb 13 09:46:36 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1769]: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue: Feb 13 09:46:36 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1769]: Connection refused - connect(2) for "10.10.254.1" port 8140 Feb 13 09:46:36 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1769]: (/File[/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/facts.d]) Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': Connection refused - connect(2) for "10.10.254.1" port 8140 Feb 13 09:46:36 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1769]: (/File[/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/facts.d]) Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///pluginfacts: Connection refused - connect(2) for "10.10.254.1" port 8140 Feb 13 09:46:37 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1769]: (/File[/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib]) Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': Connection refused - connect(2) for "10.10.254.1" port 8140 Feb 13 09:46:37 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1769]: (/File[/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib]) Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///plugins: Connection refused - connect(2) for "10.10.254.1" port 8140 Feb 13 09:46:45 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1769]: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Connection refused - connect(2) for "10.10.254.1" port 8140 Feb 13 09:46:45 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1769]: Applied catalog in 0.05 seconds Feb 13 09:46:45 puppetmaster puppet-agent[1769]: Could not send report: Connection refused - connect(2) for "10.10.254.1" port 8140 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Re: Still problem using Chocolatey provider on Windows
I got it to work on Windows 7. On Windows 8 it would not find the provider.
But the provider does not install the package completely for me yet. As a

[Puppet Users] Re: Could not prefetch package provider 'freebsd': No resource and no name in property hash in freebsd instance
Just thought I post the solution which we eventually found.
It has to do with installing the mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin package and
how the new package is constructed. When we tried another test and
installed a random package (found in the ports tree) manually and ran
the agent again, we had no problem completing successfully, even
though an unknown package was installed.
The SA rule package is not real in the sense that it comes from the
ports tree and has an entry in the INDEX file that Puppet uses. The
command that Puppet uses to enumerate packages is missing a piece of
information (the port's origin), and that causes the error that
we've seen. Any other package installed from the ports tree has an
origin, and Puppet doesn't have a problem, even if it didn't install
it.
We also found that we can prevent the sa-update cron script from
registering the package after it's installed. This will allow the SA
rules to be updated periodically, but it will also avoid the Puppet
error.
At the very least, we'd love to see a better error message from
Puppet, perhaps including the package name causing the failure. That
would have tipped us off sooner.

[Puppet Users] Creating user with random password (only once)
Hi,
I want to create a user with a random password. Is there a way to only
execute the manifest once when the user does not exist but not once
the user is created?
I know how to create a random password and can use generate to execute
this function (or make it a custom fact provided I get this fact
executed).
So far I call an add_user method define in a users module out of my
base class. Here is the code:
include users
users::add_user { 'testuser':
name = 'testuser',
uid = '777',
password = generate('/usr/local/bin/new_hash'),
shell= '/bin/csh',
groups = 'testuser',
}
But alas this will get executed every time the client runs since the
password will have changed due to the new generate call.
One work-around I could think of is to create the user on the client
(FreeBSD) using an exec calling the makepassword and pw command.
Then I could check for existance of the user in the masterpasswd file
with an unless check.
But I much prefer do this with Puppet natively.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
