I would like to check for the existence of a template file and if that 
template exists, use it otherwise move on. The file would obviously need to 
exist on the Puppet server, not the client. Here is my code.

$filetest = 
>> File.exists?("/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/samba/templates/$hostname.erb") 
>>  
>
>
>>                 if $filetest == "true" {
>
>
>>                     file { '/etc/samba/smb.conf':
>
>                        notify  => Service["smb", "winbind"],
>
>                        replace => 'no',
>
>                        path => '/etc/samba/smb.conf',
>
>                        ensure => file,
>
>                        content => template("samba/smb.erb", 
>> "samba/${hostname}.erb"),
>
>                        require => Package["samba"],
>
>                     }
>
>                 } else {
>
>
>>                     file { '/etc/samba/smb.conf':
>
>                        notify  => Service["smb", "winbind"],
>
>                        replace => 'no',
>
>                        path => '/etc/samba/smb.conf',
>
>                        ensure => file,
>
>                        content => template("samba/smb.erb"),
>
>                        require => Package["samba"],

I keep getting the error:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Syntax error at '.'; expected '}' at 
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/samba/manifests/init.pp:34 on node


when I run the following test, it seems to work fine, but if I modify my 
code above within puppet to use this, it fails also...

# cat test.rb 
> $test = 
> File.exists?("/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/samba/templates/file.erb") 
> print $test
> # ruby test.rb 
> true


Any ideas?

A million thanks in advance

Ted
