I'm running facter 1.5.8 (fedora 13). I'm not very clear about what
the variable ipaddress is supposed to represent. I've read that it
returns the ip address that's bound to the lowest alphabetic name of a
network interface. That model seems a bit weird to me but that's
probably because I'm j
s to IP addresses.
I think that I'm going to ignore this issue for the moment as
something that just doesn't work yet.

I'm trying to work out the best way to use Puppet to control an
existing estate, and then how to refactor the configurations. I'd like
to use the appropriate tools where I can (eg taking distros to get

I'd like to add the various rpmfusion repos to my puppet manifests. Is
it possible to use yum/rpm to do this directly from the rpmfusion

I've had issues like this in a previous life (I was a founder of
Tideway Systems and we put a lot of effort into finding info from the
runtime environment and reasoning about what the returned info meant).

Hi Ken
[sorry for top-posting]
I'm not a fan of supporting bad practice too strongly, it just becomes
a stick with which to beat yourself with ;-)
I think that it would be better to show folk how to get a better
model, and to point out that fqdns are not properties of hosts

I've not used Puppet yet, so this could be an obvious misunderstanding
on my part. I've seen many manifest entries for files that write rules
about file ownership and permissions. Surely these types of attributes
should be managed through the package managers, with a possible

Hi Luke
Thanks. Your examples are correct and I'm sorry for not including them
in my original post.
I think that your first suggestion is the way for me to go. I do think
that this should be elaborated as best practice (if that's what it
is). I did have rpm (yum) in mind as the PM. There are some

I'm a puppet neophyte and I'm a bit confused about the service type.

Intriguingly, on a fedora 13 host, using puppet-0.25.5-1.fc13.noarch,
information about xinetd *is* returned by
puppet resource service.
the version on the learning machine is:
pe-puppet-2.6.4-7.el5
Is the change in behaviour a bug? how can I tell?

This all sounds to me like there isn't much of an abstraction, since
there's no definition of what ought to happen (as opposed to what does
happen).
Surely, I want to be able to manage the xyz service in the same way no
matter what the operating system. If I take Felix' suggestion and

I'm trying to install puppet on some rhel 6.2 boxes, which have epel
repo installed. However, I'm getting dependency errors for augeas-

Is there no other source (eg puppetlabs)? the Optional Channel seems
to be a bit of an administrative barrier.

support the puppet releases. Is it because I've got rhel 6.1 (I'd have
thought that epel would be aligned) or that I'm missing another repo

What's the best way to test upgrades of puppetmaster? I'm trying to
