To the best of my knowledge, you can only override resource parameters
in a subclass of the class that declares the resource. Perhaps you
can also override properties of resources declared at global scope,
but I don't generally recommend global resources, even virtual ones.
You might be able to achieve what you want something like this
(completely untested):
# A class containing virtual declarations of all your users
class user::virtual {
# ...
@user { "apache":
uid => 48,
gid => 48,
groups => "apache",
}
# ...
}
# A class in your nagios module that
# exists solely to override User["apache"]
class nagios::apache::user inherits user::virtual {
User["apache"] { groups +> "nagios }
}
# Apache-related nagios settings
class nagios::apache {
include "nagios::apache::user"
realize User["apache"]
# ...
}
Good luck,
John
