[Puppet Users] Hitting the wall while trying my hand at subclasses and parameters

[Jean-Francois Gratton]

Good morning everyone,

I'm trying my hand with subclasses and using parametrized (sub-)classes.

Here's the module layout, and what I'm trying to acheive:

*/etc/modules/users/manifests/sysadmins.pp*
class users::sysadmins
{
        realize (Group['sysadmins'])
        include users::sysadmins::jfg1
        include users::sysadmins::jfg2
}
and then I'd have, in */etc/modules/users/manifests/sysadmins/jfg1.pp* :
class users::sysadmins::jfg1
{
        @user   { 'jfg1' :
                        comment => 'JFG1 test accnt',
                        ensure => present,
                        gid => 'sysadmins',
[snip]
                     }
           realize (User['jfg1'])
}

Now, I'd want some common files to be put into $HOME, regardless of the 
user being created. I've thought of adding this:

*/etc/puppet/modules/users/sysadmins/commonfiles.pp* :
class users::sysadmins::commonfiles($homedirectory, $username)
{
        file    { "${homedirectory}/.profile" :
                        ensure => present,
                        owner => "${username}",
                        group => 'sysadmins',
                        source => 
"puppet:///modules/users/profiles/${username}-profile",
                }
[snip]
}
($homedirectory has to be explicitely passed to this module because $HOME 
could be /export/home, /home/ or other combinations -> /Users/$user on OSX, 
for instance)

Now, back to /etc/modules/users/manifests/sysadmins/jfg1.pp, right after 
the realize User[] line, I'd call the commonfiles subclass with:
  include users::sysadmins::commonfiles("/export/home/jfg1", "jfg1")

Except that I get this error:

Error: Unknown function users::sysadmins::commonfiles at 
/etc/puppet/modules/users/manifests/sysadmins/jfg1.pp:61 on node XXX


I'm not sure of what am I missing here.

Any pointers ?

Regards,

--Jeff
