What I am looking for is a way to set the level of authoritativeness on the server, so that you and I can coexist. I imagine you would set the server to always be authoritative, where I would set it to be let the client choose, but default to what the server thinks if the client doesn't supply an option That means the authoritativeness policy that works for our site (and I know another large site that manages desktops with puppet lets the client set the environment) won't interrupt yours John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

I took issue, rather, with the earlier suggestion in the thread that the client be able to override no matter what was set on the server, for backwards compatibility. -- Bruce Explota!: miles de lemmings no pueden estar equivocados. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

My puppet client class then uses this variable value as the environment value in the clients puppet.conf (via a template) This is my current setup too, btw I use two puppet instances which manage each other (and one manages everything else too). This way it is way harder to lock yourself out of automation. But I want to set it on master for various reasons (mainly security and node separation, various environments for various clients (not puppet clients, but company clients) which should not be able to see other client's stuff by just changing the environment manually). if you use an external node classifier, you can set it there. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html Tnx, b.
