service won't start as expected on ssh

[Luis Festas Matos]

Hi guys,

I'm new here, it's my first post. I did look the group but didn't find anything similar to mine so I'm posting my question here.

I'm trying to configure puppet on Ubuntu 10.10 to start a ssh service if the service is down. This is an exercise so I can 

understand how it works.

I start then the puppet client after all setup is done, the puppet client runs fine but the service is not started.

Here's my definition of the module:

5 files, 

init.pp, params.pp, install.pp, config.pp, service.pp on manifest, and a file on the files subdirectory.

THis is the relevant part of the log result:

debug: /Stage[main]/Ssh::Service/Service[ssh]/require: requires Class[Ssh::Config]

debug: /Stage[main]/Ssh::Config/File[/etc/ssh/sshd_config]/require: requires Class[Ssh::Install]

debug: /Stage[main]/Ssh::Config/File[/etc/ssh/sshd_config]/notify: subscribes to Class[Ssh::Service]

Other than this, nothing happens. If I manually shut down the ssh service with 'ssh service stop', running the puppet client

won't start it again, which was what I expected.

I really would appreciate some help to know what's wrong.

The contents are as such (also added as a tar.gz file):

FILE init.pp

class ssh {

   include ssh::params, ssh::install, ssh::config, ssh::service

}

FILE params.pp

class ssh::params {

  case $operatingsystem {

    /(Ubuntu|Debian)/: {

      $ssh_package_name = 'openssh-server'

      $ssh_service_config = '/etc/ssh/sshd_config'

      $ssh_service_name = 'ssh'

    }

  }

}

FILE install.pp

class ssh::install {

  package { $ssh::params::ssh_package_name:

     ensure => present,

  }

}

FILE config.pp

class ssh::config {

 file { $ssh::params::ssh_service_config:

    ensure => present,

    owner => 'root',

    group => 'root',

    mode  => 0644,

    source => "puppet:///modules/ssh/sshd_config",

    require => Class["ssh::install"],

    notify => Class["ssh::service"],

  }

}

FILE service.pp

class ssh::service {

  service { $ssh::params::ssh_service_name:

    ensure => running,

    hasstatus => true,

    hasrestart => true,

    enable => true,

    require => Class["ssh::config"]

  }

}
