[Puppet Users] Installing packages that require user input (e.g. NIS) ?
Hi all I would like to install NIS, but how do I handle such a package which prompts for user input, when apt-get install nis is done on Ubuntu?

Also, fwiw - I don't use NIS but I do use LDAP everywhere and I have found that asserting control and content over the configuration files (/etc/nsswitch.conf and others - primarily /etc/pam.d files), that the answers to the post-install configuration script are already handled.

It does.
