As another option, I believe you can use:

      file { "/etc/abc.conf":
            ensure =>  present
content => "rundir= /central/$hostname/\nlogdir= $hostname.log"
           }

Hello All,

      I have quick question for you; How can I pass a variable to a
static file that I'm distributing via puppet?  i.g, :
class abc {
     file { "/etc/abc.conf":
           ensure =>  present
           source =>  "puppet:///sys/abc.conf}
          }


    puppet:///sys/abc.conf contains :

   rundir= /central/$hostname/
   logdir= $hostname.log

Can this be done?

You should probably look at using templates instead.
