Hi,
that would probably be
if defined(Class[...]) { }
though, which is hacky and prone to ordering problems - the group
membership will end up flapping.
What's needed here is class inheritance:
class default_user {
user { "defaultaccount": ... }
}
class default_user::ssh inherits default_user {
User["defaultaccount"] { groups +> "sshusers" }
}
Then the SSH class will include default_user::ssh. Done.
Notice the use of the "plusignment" syntax in the resource override.
HTH,
Felix
