This conversation has somehow not been properly threaded together. I see a quote of the original question, but not the original question itself, so please forgive me if I'm missing something. Perhaps it did not actually start on the group? Anyway, the error message indicates that the module thinks the appropriate service name is 'sshd', whereas it should be 'ssh' on Ubuntu. That this is not about the name of the daemon executable; rather, it is about the name used with the system's service management tools. And note, too, that you should not need to specify which service management toolset to use (the "provider") -- Puppet is very good at figuring that out for itself. If the quoted code matches the manifests involved in producing that error message, then it must be that $ssh::params::ssh_service_name is not being assigned the correct value. That, in turn, suggests that either the value of the $operatingsystem fact the node submits to Puppet does not match the regex /(Ubuntu|Debian)/, or perhaps that it (also) matches another case listed earlier in that 'case' statement. You can run facter directly on the node, from the command line, to determine what 'operatingsystem' value it is reporting. You can put a Notify resource in class ssh:params to verify that $operatingsystem resolves to the expected value when evaluated in that context (and you could make that more certain by spelling it $::operatingsystem). You can run the agent with --debug messaging enabled to see the actual commands puppet issues to try to test and start the service.
