Description

This module installs the acpid package and ensures the service is running.

See REFERENCE.md for additional information.

This is a SIMP module

This module is a component of the System Integrity Management Platform, a compliance-management framework built on Puppet.

If you find any issues, they can be submitted to our JIRA.

Please read our Contribution Guide

This module is optimally designed for use within a larger SIMP ecosystem, but it can be used independently:

• When included within the SIMP ecosystem, security compliance settings will be managed from the Puppet server.
• If used independently, all SIMP-managed security subsystems are disabled by default and must be explicitly opted into by administrators. Please review the simp_options module for details.

Setup

What acpid affects

• installs the acpid package
• manages the acpid and haldaemon services

Beginning with acpid

To use this module, just include the class:

include 'acpid'

Usage

You can optioally pin the version of the acpid package by specifying the $ensure variable when calling the class:

class { 'acpid':
  ensure => 'latest'
}

Limitations

SIMP Puppet modules are generally intended for use on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and compatible distributions, such as CentOS. Please see the metadata.json file for the most up-to-date list of supported operating systems, Puppet versions, and module dependencies.

Development

Please see the SIMP Contribution Guidelines.

Acceptance tests

This module includes Beaker acceptance tests using the SIMP Beaker Helpers. By default the tests use Vagrant with VirtualBox as a back-end; Vagrant and VirtualBox must both be installed to run these tests without modification. To execute the tests run the following:

bundle install
bundle exec rake beaker:suites

Please refer to the SIMP Beaker Helpers documentation for more information.

Some environment variables may be useful:

BEAKER_debug=true
BEAKER_provision=no
BEAKER_destroy=no
BEAKER_use_fixtures_dir_for_modules=yes

• BEAKER_debug: show the commands being run on the STU and their output.
• BEAKER_destroy=no: prevent the machine destruction after the tests finish so you can inspect the state.
• BEAKER_provision=no: prevent the machine from being recreated. This can save a lot of time while you're writing the tests.
• BEAKER_use_fixtures_dir_for_modules=yes: cause all module dependencies to be loaded from the spec/fixtures/modules directory, based on the contents of .fixtures.yml. The contents of this directory are usually populated by bundle exec rake spec_prep. This can be used to run acceptance tests to run on isolated networks.
