Hi Tom, Instead of thinking in terms on exclusions, think in terms of roles of systems. In regards to NTP you have two, ntp clients and ntp servers. I would include an ntp class for all of your Linux based systems and if the role is ntp server then you have a level in Hiera for it that describes the changes that are particular to those systems such as different upstream NTP servers, options, etc. Best regards, -g -- Garrett Honeycutt @learnpuppet Puppet Training with LearnPuppet.com Mobile: +1.206.414.8658 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
