FAQ
Dear readers,

I would like to use the saz-ntp module from
https://github.com/saz/puppet-ntp

When installed the class is called "ntp".

Ideally would I like each node to look like

node testsrv { include ntp }


Problem

I don't want to modify the downloaded module, but I would like to be able
to specify my own ntp servers

class { 'ntp': server_list => [ 'yourLocalServer1', 'yourLocalServer2', ] }


Question

Is it possible to override the ntp class name, so I can create an ntp class
with contains my ntp server names?

Or is it possible to create an myconfig::ntp so the node would just become?:

node testsrv { include myconfig::ntp }


Hugs,
Sandra

    The author built his ntp module with parameterized classes [1] so that
    you could modify its behavior and data without touching the Puppet
    manifests at all. If you'd like to create an ntp class with your own
    ntp server names, you declare the class [2] exactly like you
    suggested.

    class { 'ntp':
    server_list => [ 'server1', 'server2', 'etc' ],
    }

    This is equivalent to writing include ntp but without just accepting
    the default behavior and data.

    Hugs back!

    Hi Ryan,

    Yes, the following works

    node testsrv {
    class { 'ntp':
    server_list => [ 'server1', 'server2', 'etc' ],
    }
    }

    but I would really like to have this instead

    node testsrv { include ntp }
    or
    node testsrv { include myconfig::ntp }

    Is that possible, or are we talking about different things? =)

    Hugs,
    Sandra

    using something like 'myconfig::ntp' (or any different name,
    'ntp_local', etc.) would work fine. This would look like

    class myconfig::ntp {
    class { 'ntp':
    server_list => [ 'a.example.com', 'b.example.com' ]
    }
    }

    note testsrv {
    include myconfig::ntp
    }

    Awesome! Thanks a lot =)
