Puppet _always_ sets the `+x` bit on directories if they have the `r`
bit set for that slot[^1]:
> When specifying numeric permissions for directories, Puppet sets the

As such, for instance, `0640` is actually applied as `0750`.
Fix what we "want" to match what puppet is applying, by adding the `x`
bit. In none of these cases did we actually intend the directory to
not be executable.

A number of autossh connections are already left open for
port-forwarding Munin ports; autossh starts the connections and
ensures that they are automatically restarted if they are severed.
However, this represents a missed opportunity. Nagios's monitoring
uses a large number of SSH connections to the remote hosts to run
commands on them; each of these connections requires doing a complete
SSH handshake and authentication, which can have non-trivial network
latency, particularly for hosts which may be located far away, in a
network topology sense (up to 1s for a no-op command!).
Use OpenSSH's ability to multiplex multiple connections over a single
socket, to reuse the already-established connection. We leave an
explicit `ControlMaster no` in the general configuration, and not
`auto`, as we do not wish any of the short-lived Nagios connections to
get promoted to being a control socket if the autossh is not running
for some reason.
We enable protocol-level keepalives, to give a better chance of the
socket being kept open.
The `needrestart` tool added in 22.04 is useful in terms of listing
which services may need to be restarted to pick up updated libraries.
However, it prompts about the current state of services needing
restart for *every* subsequent `apt-get upgrade`, and defaulting core
services to restarting requires carefully manually excluding them
every time, at risk of causing an unscheduled outage.
Build a list of default-off services based on the list in
unattended-upgrades.
Our current EC2 systems don’t have an interface named ‘eth0’, and if
they did, this script would do nothing but crash with ImportError
because we have never installed boto.utils for Python 3.
(The message of commit 2a4d851a7c made
an effort to document for future researchers why this script should
not have been blindly converted to Python 3. However, commit
2dc6d09c2a (#14278) was evidently
unresearched and untested.)

The homedir of a user cannot be changed if any processes are running
as them, so having it change over time as upgrades happen will break
puppet application, as the old grafana process under supervisor will
effectively lock changes to the user's homedir.
Unfortunately, that means that this change will thus fail to
puppet-apply unless `supervisorctl stop grafana` is run first, but
there's no way around that.
In the event that extracting doesn't produce the binary we expected it
to, all this will do is create an _empty_ file where we expect the
binary to be. This will likely muddle debugging.
Since the only reason the resourfce was made in the first place was to
make dependencies clear, switch to depending on the External_Dep
itself, when such a dependency is needed.
93f62b999e removed the last file in
puppet/zulip/files/nagios_plugins/zulip_nagios_server, which means the
singular rule in zulip::nagios no longer applies cleanly.
Remove the `zulip::nagios` class, as it is no longer needed.
This is similar cleanup to 3ab9b31d2f, but only affects zulip_ops
services; it serves to ensure that any of these services which are no
longer enabled are automatically removed from supervisor.
Note that this will cause a supervisor restart on all affected hosts,
which will restart all supervisor services.
Host-based md5 auth for 127.0.0.1 must be removed from `pg_hba.conf`,
otherwise password authentication is preferred over certificate-based
authentication for localhost.
