[Puppet Users] Puppet Configuration - Running --configprint generates long list of values
Hello all, I fairly new to puppet and google groups so I'll apologize in advance for not conforming to normal posting methods. I've recently installed puppetmaster on a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.04LTS and after running: sudo puppet --configprint all, I get a long list of parameters and values echoed back to my shell. My question is where do these parameters and values come from? I've taken a look at my puppet.conf file (which I believe is located in the proper place of: /etc/puppet/puppet.conf) and it looks like this: [main] logdir=/var/log/puppet vardir=/var/lib/puppet ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl rundir=/var/run/puppet factpath=$vardir/lib/facter templatedir=$confdir/templates [master] # These are needed when the puppetmaster is run by passenger # and can safely be removed if webrick is used. ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY Clearly these values of the ''--configprint -all command are coming from somewhere else and I can't seem to find the answer. I've read that puppet will read values from a users home directory if the puppet service is not running as root but I'm not sure that's something I should be concerned with at the moment. My thanks to everybody's help in advance. Cheers, Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Thus you can 'override' any of the defaults by specifically declaring them in the appropriate section of puppet.conf Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Thank you for the reply Craig. That makes sense and points me in the right direction.
