Issue #6649 has been updated by Klavs Klavsen.
Thanks for the tip Ben.
It's still very messy - CentOS f.ex. has a LOT of files in the pam.d folder -
and I'm currently supporting 3 diff. distro's - which makes for 3 different
folders - all with a lot of files in them :(
The cleanest for now I decided was to create a define which defines the file,
and then call it for each folder like this:
pam::tmplfile { ['ldap', 'common-auth', 'common-session', 'ssh', ....]: }
Not optimal - but it works for this limited use - I still have to define which
files is in the folder - instead of just pointing puppet at the folder, as you
can usually do if it's "just" files.

Hi,
I find myself wanting a feature so that I could define an entire directory as a
template'd folder.
ie. so that I simply define something like:
file { "$destfolderpath":
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => 644,
content => templatedir("pam/pam.d-$lsbdistid.$lsbmajdistrelease"),
}
and the template function would simply work equivalently to what this would:
file { "$destfolderpath":
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => 644,
source => "modules/pam/pam.d-$lsbdistid.$lsbmajdistrelease",
}
Except it would run all files in
modules/pam/pam.d-$lsbdistid.$lsbmajdistrelease through the template function.
My current use case - would be to manage /etc/pam.d folder with it.
Each distro has different files in the folder - and depending on if I want
f.ex. ldap, sftp etc. enabled - I would then simply handle this in the file
using the normal template functions (and basing the decision on wether or not
to enable f.ex. ldap - on a variable set in the module).
Currently I have to define each file that each distro has.. :(
