<PRE>Le lundi 24 janvier 2011 &#224; 09:28 +0100, nicolas vigier a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> Hello,
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> We are using this ruby module to save passwords used by puppet in a csv
</I>&gt;<i> file :
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://www.devco.net/code/extlookup.rb">http://www.devco.net/code/extlookup.rb</A>
</I>&gt;<i> and manifests/extlookup.pp in our puppet config.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> And we are saving all passwords in this file on valstar :
</I>&gt;<i> /etc/puppet/extdata/common.csv
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> As I don't know exactly how puppet and puppet master are working, I am
</I>&gt;<i> wondering if access to any password from this file is possible from any
</I>&gt;<i> node (if someone can modify puppet config on this node). This could be
</I>&gt;<i> a problem if we start to manage with our puppet server some less trusted
</I>&gt;<i> servers. Or if someone getting root access on only one of the server
</I>&gt;<i> can access all the passwords.
</I>
&gt;<i>From puppet, someone being root on a server with puppet just get the
</I>configuration for this server ( that's the beauty of the pull model ).

On the puppet master, on the other hand, it can go root everywhere.
