Well, more matter of factly, that shifting to a hiera-based approach would require us to manage very carefully the balance of data between puppet and hiera, and manage by eyeball the dependencies between the two. There is considerable resistance to this idea here. If it was possible to put all the user and group information in hiera and then put the assignment/management of that information into puppet then we could probably manage that. But having to edit "this host gets the sql server info" in puppet and then "these users get put in mysql group on this host" in hiera is completely nonfunctional, and I've seen no examples of ways to bridge that gap. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : net philanthropy to improve open source and internet projects. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
