Use "overridable" on the default "services" variable. For example:
vars:
any::
"services" slist => { ... },
policy => "overridable";
redhat::
"services" slist => { "telnet", ... };
etc.
Does that help?

The offending text is here:

39 "xfs",
40 "smb",
41 "autofs"
42 },
43 comment => "Check status of these services for this
host";
This redefinition is on purpose to allow for a default list than can be
overridden by more specific classes. How can I get around this message?
