Hi there, I have a small isolated group of servers. I don't want to set up DNS infrastructure for this.
I have an /etc/hosts file that looks like: <snip> 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.50.70 tec-puppet.tec.cwa.co.nz tec-puppet </snip> I can ping tec-puppet fine: r...@tec-lb1:/etc# ping tec-puppet PING tec-puppet.tec.cwa.co.nz (192.168.50.70) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from tec-puppet.tec.cwa.co.nz (192.168.50.70): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.077 ms I can ping the FQDN just fine: r...@tec-lb1:/etc# ping tec-puppet.tec.cwa.co.nz PING tec-puppet.tec.cwa.co.nz (192.168.50.70) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from tec-puppet.tec.cwa.co.nz (192.168.50.70): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.068 ms I have this in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf: <snip> [puppetd] server=tec-puppet.tec.cwa.co.nz runinterval=300 </snip> I have this in /etc/nsswitch.conf: <snip> hosts: files networks: files </snip> and this in /etc/host.conf: <snip> order hosts </snip> They do have an /etc/resolv.conf file and they should (and normally do) use DNS for queries outside their little world; I just made these nsswitch.conf and host.conf refer exclusively to /etc/hosts files in order to prove that something seems to be ignoring the resolver library configuration. When I run puppetd -vt I get: <quote> dnsdomainname: Unknown host </quote> something seems wrong... This is all running under Debian Lenny. r...@tec-lb1:/etc# puppetd --version dnsdomainname: Unknown host 0.24.5 So.. from the 'dnsdomainname' ref there, it would seem to my untrained eye that despite my best efforts in nsswitch.conf and host.conf, puppet is trying DNS anyway...? -- Please remember that an email is just like a postcard; it is not confidential nor private nor secure and can be read by many other people than the intended recipient. A postcard can be read by anyone at the mail sorting office and expecting what is written on it to be private and secret is not realistic. Please hold no higher expectation of email. If you need to send confidential information in an email you need to use encryption. PGP is Pretty good for this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
