config.pp not working as expected

[John]

I've got the following code in my config.pp file on a FreeBSD 8.3 host:

freebsd# more config.pp ;
class ssh::config {
  include ssh::params
  $listenaddress = $ssh::params::listenaddress
  file { $ssh::params::sshd_config_file:
    ensure => present,
    owner => 'root',
    group => 'root',
    mode => '0600',
    content => template('ssh/sshd_config.erb'),
  }
  file { $ssh::params::ssh_config_file:
    ensure => present,
    owner => 'root',
    group => 'root',
    mode => '0644',
    content => template('ssh/ssh_config.erb'),
  }
}

I want to test that puppet will put back a configuration so I remove the contents of /etc/ssh_config file ( echo "" > /etc/ssh_config).  I would expect the puppet SSH module I'm using to restore the file contents.  It does not.  Furthermore, I believe it thinks I'm running this on a  linux host.

Check out the following and please advice.

You say "my config.pp file" as if we should know what file that is, where it is, and what its significance is.  In fact, we know none of those things.

freebsd# more config.pp ;
class ssh::config {
  include ssh::params
  $listenaddress = $ssh::params::listenaddress
  file { $ssh::params::sshd_config_file:
    ensure => present,
    owner => 'root',
    group => 'root',
    mode => '0600',
    content => template('ssh/sshd_config.erb'),

  file { $ssh::params::ssh_config_file:

    group => 'root',

That is likely because you have not instructed Puppet to manage the file in question.

 

  Furthermore, I believe it thinks I'm running this on a  linux host.

I don't see why you say that.

 

In all likelihood, the manifest you are applying defines class "ssh" of a like-named module, but does not declare that any particular class should be applied to the target node.  You have given Puppet a cookbook, but not told it to cook anything.  (Moreover, you have told it (--noop) that whatever you might instruct it to cook, it should only pretend to cook it.)

Supposing that your Puppet is configured to have /usr/local/etc/puppet/modules as [part of] its module path, what you are looking for appears to be something more like this:

puppet apply --verbose --debug -e "include 'ssh'"
