Detailed Instructions

Install a new CentOS 5.5 system into a Virtual Machine

Optional: Update the SSH Public Key variable at the top of
modules/puppet-demo/manifests/init.pp

Optional: Update other variables in the module.

Copy rhel-vm-setup to the virtual machine.

Execute the rhel-vm-setup script with bash.

The rhel-vm-setup will:
* Install puppet from EPEL
* Install git
* Clone https://jeffmccune@github.com/jeffmccune/puppet-demotools.git

Debugging
=========
Ruby-debug is nice for debugging the log processors
This will help view available attributes and runtime
objects in ruby when the log is processed.

require 'rubygems'
require 'ruby-debug'; Debugger.start
...
debugger

Start puppetmasterd in the foreground with --no-daemonize

Interesting data in the log objects:
(rdb:70) ps log
