Puppet users - Sep 2008 - Syntax error at "user::virtual" in a simple Debian configuration

Hi there,

I''ve been working on a very simple puppet configuration to determine
whether it could be used in our office, and am attempting to work within
the best practices guide but have run into immediate difficulty. 

The error I have looks like this:

$ puppetmasterd --verbose
info: Starting server for Puppet version 0.20.1
Syntax error at ''user::virtual'' in
file /etc/puppet/modules/user/itstaff.pp at line 3

itstaff.pp reads:

# itstaff.pp
class user::itstaff inherits user::virtual {
# Realize our team members
    realize(
        User["..."],
        User["..."],
        User["..."]
    )
}

(The names are simple unix names instead of dots...!)

there is also a virtual.pp file which reads:

# virtual.pp
# Unix user accounts managed by puppet instead of LDAP

class user::virtual {
    @user { "...":
        ensure  => "present",
        uid     => "1001",
        gid     => "1001",
        comment => "...",
        home    => "/home/...",
        shell   => "/bin/bash",
    }

    @user { "...":
        ensure  => "present",
        uid     => "1002",
        gid     => "1002",
        comment => "...",
        home    => "/home/...",
        shell   => "/bin/bash",
    }

    @user { "...":
        ensure  => "present",
        uid     => "1003",
        gid     => "1003",
        comment => "...",
        home    => "/home/...",
        shell   => "/bin/bash",
    }
}

Both those files should be loading according to the line 
	import "/etc/puppet/modules/user/*"
in the site.pp file.

The entire setup consists of two machines (one client, one server) and
they were working with a slightly modified version of "The Simplest
Puppet Install Recipe" from the wiki. I''ve reviewed the tutorial,
best
practices, faq, and style guides without getting any new insights.

Am I missing something obvious? It seems like this is too simple a setup
to actually break.

Thanks,
~Pablo

your version iy heavily outdated. you might use the sid one. it''s more
actual and stable enough.

greets pete
