Hi,
I'm currently trying to write a simple function to generate a random
password. I have looked at the fqdn_rand.rb script to get things going
but unfortunately my ruby skills are very bad.
I found the following code snippet that does what I need:

Michael,
Would you guys consider standing up a shapado instance?
http://shapado.com/(It's basically an FLOSS clone of stackoverflow,
and is great for Q&A type
stuff.) You could stand it up as ask.puppetlabs.com, and point new users
there for questions. One of the big issues of puppet-users, is sim
How about a 'serverfault' or 'stackoverflow' or the like site? One of the
issues I find is that previous answers are lost in mail lists and hard to
search for. IRC isn't much help for searching previous answers either.

Breaking the users list into two lists has its pros and cons.

I'll try creating a real single file example that shows the issue.
If I put a "Require" on the exec itself, it works. It seems intuitive to me
that if I setup Class -> File, then the File should get executed before
anything in that Class. But that isn't the case.

The obfuscation it seems you have done here doesn't make this clear (at
least to me).
It would appear your "only if" is executing, as-directed, to see if it may
execute the exec within the class. (Assuming you have replaced "apprunner"
with "my_user" in places, there)
It might help to de-obfuscat

I have a basic setup where I have an Exec that is in a class. The Exec has
an onlyif that checks for the existence of a file. Despite me indicating
that the Class requires that File, the onlyif check is executed before the
File.

Dear all,
I installed and configured a Mcollective server and a MCollective client to
manage Puppet agents asynchronously.
I checked through mc-ping command that the two components communicate with
each other: it works.

I've got troubles with my puppet master which doesn't trust its own

I love hiera, but this is my biggest problem with it. There is no
scoping of the hiera name space. I am personally using the naming

they are working on it, so here's hoping...

Hi,
There is probably something stupid I am missing, but I just can't see
it. I do:
$iptables_open_ports_public = hiera_array ('iptables_open_ports_public', [])
And I have not defined that in the hiera tree, so the default (an empty
array) should be returned. But I get, instead:
