I ran into the same problem, i.e. overriding a class parameter with
(apparently) no effect
After some digging, I found that there was an effect, the change was
reflected in the compiled catalog
but somehow the Puppet::Parser::Scope::lookupvar method ignored this
I made a patch for puppet/parser/scope.rb (against puppet-2.7.16) that
makes lookupvar look in the right place
I don't know what effect this patch has on other parts of puppet, and if
other people (puppetlabs?) are interested in this patch,
but in my case everything kept working

Hi,
I have a parametrised class to manage /etc/security/access.conf that
accepts an "entries" parameter.
I've included this class in a generic node definition:
node common-node {
class{'pam_access':
entries => ["+ : ALL : ALL"],
}
}
My real nodes inherit this node definition:
node 'test01' inherits common-node {
}
How can I override this class parameter in the test01 node? I've tried
setting
Class['pam_access'] {
entries => ["- : idiot : ALL" ],
}
But it doesn't seem to have any effect. The initial settings remain active
and no error is logged.
How can I do this type of change with parametrised classes?
Regards,
Rik
