Issue #16511 has been updated by Jeff McCune. Status changed from Accepted to In Topic Branch Pending Review Branch set to https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/347
# Pull request I'm going to fix this bug, then make another pass at cleaning up the EC2 fact so this is much easier to patch and work with in the future. I pulled an example `arp -a` command for Solaris 8 from some online documentation. <https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/347> ---------------------------------------- Bug #16511: EC2 code breaks facter on Solaris 8 and earlier https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16511#change-75220 Author: Alex Harvey Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Normal Assignee: Jeff McCune Category: solaris Target version: 1.6.x Keywords: solaris Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/347 Affected Facter version: The following code in lib/facter/util/ec2.rb breaks various facts on versions of Unix that do not support the arp -n option. # Test if the host has an arp entry in its cache that matches the EC2 arp, # which is normally +fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff+. def has_ec2_arp? mac_address = "fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff" if Facter.value(:kernel) == 'windows' arp_command = "arp -a" mac_address.gsub!(":","-") else arp_command = "arp -an" end This results in failures like the following - $ facter swapsize arp: -an: unknown host 2.00 GB -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
