You could also try using ::main::luser, and perhaps even changing
"main" to something with less potential for name collision. Better,
however, would probably be to move luser to the top level of your
module's init.pp (you are using modules, right?).
Resolution of the definition name aside, it is unlikely that "inetd
inherits main" is what you want. It can work, but unless class inetd
is overriding properties of resources defined in class main then what
you want is probably
class inetd {
include "main"
}
that is, unless you are using resource overrides, you should "include"
classes instead of ineriting them.
All things considered, however, I suspect that what you *really* want
is
class main {
include "inetd"
}
Best,
