Puppet users - Apr 2008 - LDAP variables.

Hi,

I modified the puppet.schema so I could define variables like ip, netmask,
network, gateway etc directly in the node definition.

Then I have puppetclass: baseclass, and in here I call a network define
that''s in a module called network/.  This calling works, but I
can''t seem to
pass the information that SHOULD be in variables from LDAP.  I have this:

class baseclass {
    include network
    network::ip { "eth0": ip => "$ip", netmask =>
"$netmask", gateway =>
"$gateway", network => "$network", broadcast =>
"$broadcast", gateway =>
"$gateway", hostname => "$cn", enabled =>
"yes" }
}

Is this a namespace problem where the variables are only valid under the
node definition?  My other idea was to define a basenode in the nodes.pp
file that includes this define, in case the variables work there, because I
don''t have anywhere to extend the node configuration now that
I''m using LDAP
nodes.

Thanks,

Variables defined in your external nodes app are available throughout  
your configuration, just like facts.

You can more easily test whether these are available in a simple  
''notice'' function call:

notice "Netmask is ''$netmask''"

This will print a log message on the server.

Note that the support for variables in ldap has not always been  
present, so you''ll need to be using a relatively recent version for  
this to work (some time in 0.24, maybe?).
