[Puppet Users] accessing variable from another manifest

[Tim Dunphy]

Hello all,

 I'm attempting to follow along in the puppet book with the ssh module
lesson. I'm at the part where I'm attempting to use a variable that's been
set in another class called ssh::params. When I run the puppet on the
client I get the following error:

[root@beta:~] #puppet agent --test --server puppet.mydomain.com
info: Caching catalog for beta.mydomain.com <http://beta.jokefire.com>
err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter path failed on File[undef]: File
paths must be fully qualified, not 'undef' at
/etc/puppet/modules/ssh/manifests/config.pp:10

This is what my ssh modules directory looks like:

modules/ssh
├── files
│   └── sshd_config
├── manifests
│   ├── config.pp
│   ├── init.pp
│   ├── install.pp
│   ├── params.pp
│   └── service.pp
└── templates


Here is the definition I have setup in my config.pp manifest that is
generating the error:

class ssh::config {
     file { $ssh::params::ssh_service_config:
      ensure => present,
      owner => 'root',
      group => 'root',
      mode => 0600,
      source => "puppet:///modules/ssh/sshd_config",
      require => Class["ssh::install"],
      notify => Class["ssh::service"],
      }
}


The  $ssh::params::ssh_service_config variable is what's throwing the
undefined error when I run puppet on the client.

And this is my config.pp manifest in which that variable is defined:

class ssh::params {
    case $operatingsystem {
     Solaris: {
       $ssh_package_name = 'openssh'
       $ssh_service_config = '/etc/ssh/sshd_config'
       $ssh_service_name = 'sshd'
     }
     /(Ubuntu|Debian)/: {
        $ssh_package_name = 'openssh-server'
        $ssh_service_config = '/etc/ssh/sshd_config'
        $ssh_service_name = 'sshd'
     }
     /(RedHat|CentOS|Fedora)/: {
        $ssh_package_name = 'openssh-server'
        $ssh_service_config = '/etc/ssh/sshd_config'
        $ssh_service_name = 'sshd'
     }
  }
}



I was hoping someone out there could help determine why this variable is
undef?

Thanks,
Tim
