Hi Nan,
Thanks for the reply (you too Stefan).
My reference to the resource's namevar *is within the defined resource*.
file { [ '/etc/openldap/ldap.conf', '/etc/ldap.conf' ]:
source => "${ldapclient::params::fileroot}${path}",
owner => "$ldapclient::params::ldapclient_user",
mode => 0444,
require => Class['ldapclient::install'],
}
>From what I've read of all the Puppet documentation I have (the latest
2 books (1 unreleased yet) + the Puppetlabs docs), the above should
work without having to "define" a custom resource as you show below.
Where am I wrong in my reading/thinking? I must be missing something
somewhere.

...
The namevar is the parameter used to uniquely identify a type instance. This
is the parameter that gets assigned when a string is provided before the
colon in a type declaration. In general, only developers will need to worry
about which parameter is the namevar.
...
FILE
...
path
namevar
The path to the file to manage. Must be fully qualified.

Example shown:
file { [ 'foo', 'bar', 'foobar' ]:
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0600',
}
