[Puppet Users] File resource "owner" not found, only during automatic puppet runs

I have a file resource defined to be owned by a group that is
accessible via samba/winbind (AD based group), but every time Puppet
runs automatically (every 30 min) the run fails with this error ,
(sensitive information removed)

(/Stage[main]//Node[node1.tld]/Apache::Vhost[vhost1]/File[/var/www/
vhost1/html]) Could not evaluate: Could not find group org-www at /etc/
puppet/modules/apache/manifests/definitions/vhost.pp:52

When I manually run "puppetd --test --debug -v" there is no failure.
Also the group is visible on the system and all works just fine.  It
only fails during the automatic Puppet runs.  I also have another
host, with an almost identical setup , assigning AD based groups to
file resources, and it doesn't have this problem.  Using Puppet 2.6.9,
on CentOS 6.

Thanks
- Trey

[Puppet Users] Deploy an application on multiple hosts as one unit

Hi,

I wanted to see if I could deploy an application, which runs on
multiple hosts, as a proof of concept, I've created Stacker [1]

Screencast [2]* showing it in a high level.

Any feedback is appreciated :)

thanks,
Ohad

[2] - http://ohadlevy.fedorapeople.org/stacker.ogv

* stupid youtube wont understand the video format, (ffmpeg/meconder
and friends didn't work either that well) vlc/mplayer seems to play it
nicely.... me is looking for better screencast software on linux.

Hello,

In our environment we've made a concious decision to maintain modules/ 
in as generic a fashion as possible.  Basically, the way it works is 
that before we commit to modules/ we ask, "would we be comfortable 
sharing this on Github?"  It's a surprisingly good strategy. :)

I realise this is only a small element of what you're asking for, but I 
am also curious to know if anybody else out there has any sort of 
"simple rules" that can applied in order to preserve sanity.

It looks like the Puppet agent is unable to connect to the domain to
retrieve group information.  In all likelihood this is an issue with
the environment in which the agent runs or the user (root) as whom it
runs, perhaps in conjunction with winbind configuration specifics.
You could try to duplicate it from the command line by doing something
like 'env -i PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin" puppetd --test --
debug -v' to ensure that it runs with a minimal environment.

Not being familiar with the details of using samba/winbind as a user
and group resolution service, I'm not sure what specifically to
recommend you check in that area.  Duplicating the problem from the
command line should give you a leg up, though.

I am not aware of better documentation of the topics covered by that
guide, but I don't personally see a need for any, either.  Perhaps you
are looking for information outside its rather limited scope?  In
particular, that document is not about *writing* custom types /
providers / facts / functions (there are different docs for that); it
is only about how to deploy their Ruby code once it is written.

If you have specific questions that the doc doesn't answer for you,
then this is a fine place to pose them.  You could also consider
filing a ticket against the documentation.  It is unlikely, however,
that such a general complaint as the one above will elicit much help.

Um.  Err.  Coffee.

I mean, yeah, but where's the fun in that?
