I meant only in the context of how we use it for OpenAFS servers, since we've never needed anything more complex there. We use Puppet to do all sorts of interesting things elsewhere, but our BosConfig files have changed maybe five times in 15 years. I will say, though, that a lot of Puppet setups that I've seen are what I consider to be overkill. Premature generalization is not a good idea in any programming language. You don't want to add unnecessary complexity when you don't actually need the power of templating. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
