Could the problem be the variable name : group ?
That is a Puppet Type
Try changing it.
Hope this helps. Just a wild guess.

I just try to create a class as parameters container like this:
cat /etc/puppet/modules/ssh/manifests/params.pp EOF
class ssh::params {
$ssh_package_name = $::operatingsystem ? {
'solaris' = 'openssh',
'centos' = 'openssh-server',
}
}
EOF
but there is an error in agent like this:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Syntax error at '='; expected '}' at
/etc/puppet/modules/ssh/manifests/params.pp:2 on node basecentos.mhszdomain.com
I saw it in the manual like this:
---Error again...
$group = $operatingsystem ? {
solaris = 'sysadmin',
default = 'wheel',
}
then I try different type of it:
[...]
blockquote
so..what happens? does anyone could help me?

Something seems very broken here. Selectors (the feature you are trying to use)
have been in the Puppet language for a long time, and they work fine all over
the place. I doubt there are many Puppet sites that don't use them.
What strikes me as odd is that the Puppet parser complains about the '=' sign,
which is not part of the selector expression. Do you still get the error with
something like
class ssh::params {
$ssh_package_name = 'ssh'
}
? Does it help (or change anything) if you put the whole selector expression in
parentheses?
Is there any chance that you are getting unexpected (by Puppet) non-printing
characters in your manifest files when you create them via I/O redirection as
you show? That wouldn't happen in the POSIX or C locale, but perhaps it could
in some other locales, under some circumstances.
