Yes, you can. It's quite simple: Create a new group for your sub-group, then in the "Groups" field, enter the name of the parent group. The new subgroup then inherits all of the properties and classes from the parent group, and you can override properties by entering new values for them in the subgroup. You can also override individual properties by setting them on the node directly, in case you have a one-off situation. -- Calvin Walton Blindside Networks http://www.blindsidenetworks.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
