Glad the concept is correct, but I've been playing with it and am not sure
which part of the firewall class processes the passed on code. In the
firewall/apache analogy, you use the following code.
class apache {
firewall { '100 allow http and https access':
port => [80, 443],
proto => tcp,
action => accept,
}
What I am not seeing is what part of the firewall class receives this
information and knows what to do with those parameters. If I understood
this, I could probably figure out my example.
I tried in my situation
managed_preferences {
source => "puppet:///modules/office_2011/Preferences",
require => Package["$main_package"],
}
thinking that it would send these two parameters to the newly create
managed_preferences class. Again, I don't know how to receive the
information to process it in the managed_preferences class. Is the
managed_preferences class a different type of class than the office_2011
class? If I knew the official terminology I could look it up and probably
figure this out.
Thanks again
