puppet-plugin - Interact with the Puppet plugin system.
SYNOPSIS
puppet plugin action
DESCRIPTION
This subcommand provides network access to the puppet master's store of plugins.
The puppet master serves Ruby code collected from the lib directories of its modules. These plugins can be used on agent nodes to extend
Facter and implement custom types and providers. Plugins are normally downloaded by puppet agent during the course of a run.
OPTIONS
Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may not be
relevant to the present action. For example, server is a valid configuration parameter, so you can specify --server <servername> as an
argument.
See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig.
--mode MODE
The run mode to use for the current action. Valid modes are user, agent, and master.
--render-as FORMAT
The format in which to render output. The most common formats are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such as dot
are sometimes available.
--verbose
Whether to log verbosely.
--debug
Whether to log debug information.
ACTIONS
download - Download plugins from the puppet master.
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Downloads plugins from the configured puppet master. Any plugins downloaded in this way will be used in all subsequent Puppet activ-
ity. This action modifies files on disk.
RETURNS

array of the files downloaded, which will be empty if none were retrieved.
EXAMPLES

Hello all,
I am planning to deploy a configuration / auditing software package for about 100 new nodes that we are planning to install. I am hearing many good things in regards to cfengine and puppet. Can someone shed some light in regards to these solutions?
Thanks,

My friend has found a bug with sudo.
His organization has Linux laptops with no root access to users. Policy pushing is through Puppet.
But doing sudo sudo twice he is able to access root.
Do you guys have any clue, how's that possible, usually sudo su is restricted. (8 Replies)
