Puppet users - Nov 2010 - how to use fully qualified names in erb...

I have a class in a file monitor/manifest/masters/dmzo:

class dmzo {
         $rule_categories = [
 
scan,finger,ftp,telnet,rpc,rservices,ddos,dns,tftp,web-
coldfusion,misc,web-php,
        ]
}

and probably other variables eventually...

In my monitor/manifest/init.pp:

module monitor {

   import "masters/*.pp"

   define sensor ( $name, $master, $interfaces ) {

        include $master
        barnyard { $interfaces : }
        snort{ $master: interfaces => $interfaces }

          file {
            "/home/snort/conf/$master-pp.conf":
	    owner => ''snort'',
	    group => ''snort'',
	    content=>template(''monitor/pulledpork.conf.erb''),
	    ensure=>present;
       }

.................
}

and in pulledpork.con.erb :

include=<%= rule_categories.join('','') %>

and I get the error:
"Could not find value for ''rule_categories'' at
/etc/puppet/modules/
monitor/manifests/init.pp:62"

I have tried qualifying the name by prefixing it with dmzo:: and
dmzo.  then I get same error for
''dmzo''.

I assume I need to qualify the variable name but don''t know how.

What I am trying to do is have parameters to a define select a value
for a variable that then gets passed to erb.  I also want to have the
values specified in a single separate file or a series of files in a
directory.

I like to keep this visible in the manifest by doing this:

class foo { $quux = ''one'' }
class bar {
  include foo
  $quux = $foo::quux
}

...but you can also do this in the erb:

  <%= scope.lookupvar(''dmzo::rule_categories'') %>

This is documented in here:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Templating


Oh, and one final template gotcha: various Ruby reserved words can''t be
used
as template variables.  Those include a few like ''fork'' that
you might
otherwise think to use in rules like yours.

Just in case you find yourself wondering why they don''t work as
expected. :)

Regards,
        Daniel
