Absolutely - see your point - it looks to me like the template is treating literal false (not "false") as a string rather than a boolean. I might be wrong but my reading is that hiera can return booleans as well as strings, so maybe it's a template thing? Anyway, spent enough time on this for now - cheers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
