Example 7  Configuring Naming Services With Puppet

In the following example, the DNS service is enabled and a DNS server is configured. Then, the domainname property is set. Finally, the name service switch values are specified.

service { "dns/client":
ensure => running,
}

svccfg { "domainname":
  ensure => present
  fmri => "svc:/network/nis/domain",
  property => "config/domainname",
  type => "hostname",
  value => "company.com",
  notify => Service[‘dns/client'],
}

svccfg { "nameserver":
  ensure => present,
  fmri: => "svc:/network/dns/client",
  property => "config/nameserver",
  type => "net_address",
  value => "1.2.3.4"
  notify => Service[‘dns/client'],
}

# nameservice switch
nsswitch { "dns + ldap":
default => "files",
host => "files dns",
password => "files ldap",
group => "files ldap",
automount => "files ldap",
netgroup => "ldap",
}
