"Doesn't seem to work" isn't very helpful. Does Puppet emit any relevant
messages? Did you try running with --debug?
Your general idea sounds feasible. I see two specific problems in the
example code you posted, however:
1. Is the title of the File resource you want to override really
'resolv.conf'? I mean, it could be if you specified the full path via the
'path' parameter in the original declaration, but it didn't sound like
that's what you had done.
2. You do not want plussignment in this case. You want to set the value
of the 'audit' parameter to the scalar value 'all', regardless of what
might have been declared in the parent class. Use the regular assignment
operator for that.
So what you want might be:
class audit::resolver inherits resolver::config {
notify{"Running audit on $resolver::params::config_file": }
File["$resolver::params::config_file"] {
audit => all
}
}
That also assumes, of course, that the File whose declaration you are
trying to override is in fact declared in class resolver::config (or an
ancestor).
