Hi, Can we use puppet to manage server ports? Say I want port 80 to not listen and only enable port 443.

A small example to do this?

Thanks! A

Can you clarify.. Do you want puppet to listen/not listen, or some other technology? If some other technology, two different answers.. 1)Have puppet manage the configuration of your software, telling it which ports to listen/not listen on. 2) explicitly block the machine using firewall rules

Thanks! Preferably the first method, but examples of both will be fantastic. Basically a web server that shouldn't listen on port 80 only.

You can use puppet to manage a webserver and the port configuration of the webserver. There are modules for most common webservers available in the forge:
