Can't undef only be used with the inheritance syntax?
The closest we have to initializing to undefined is an empty string
('') - you can compare this quite easily in .6 - check the language
tut - but you need to do a case/selector for comparism pre-.6
E.g.;
case $uid {
'': {
user { '..':
other_params => whatever
}
}
default: {
user { '..':
uid => $uid
}
}
}
