Hi all, I'm going out of my mind trying to get my head around inheritance in Puppet 0.25.
I have a module named smtp which contains a number of classes for setting up the various configurations that we have for SMTP Servers based on Exim. I have a class called SMTP which has a service defined as "exim". I have a sub-class named smtpexternal which contains a configuration file provided from the smtp module and which needs to notify the "exim" service defined in the smtp class. The simplified version is as follows: class smtp { package {"exim-mysql": ensure => 'installed'; } service{"sendmail": ensure => stopped, } package{"sendmail": ensure => absent, } # sendmail uninstalls the LSB, so we need to re-install it here... :( package{"redhat-lsb": ensure => installed; } iptables{"SMTP Access for Exim": proto => "tcp", dport => "25", jump => "ACCEPT", } service{ "exim": ensure => "running", hasrestart => true, } class smtpexternal{ include 'mysql' file{"external-exim.conf": source => "puppet:///modules/smtp/external-exim.conf", owner => "root", group => "mail", mode => "440", path => "/etc/exim/exim.conf", notify => Service['exim'] } } } The issue I have is that when I include the smtp::smtpexternal class on a node, it errors with the following: err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find dependent Service[exim] for File[external-exim.conf] at /usr/share/puppet/modules/smtp/manifests/init.pp How do I get smtpexternal to notify smtp's exim service - or am I approaching this from the wrong direction?
