Nigel, Are you referring to the 'Class Filters' section on http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/reference/integration/puppet.html ?
If so, that's not really the same thing. Classes.txt lists classes included on a server. That's not what I am looking for. Life isn't always as simple as assuming that all machines within a certain functional group include the same class. You'd think so, but hey, I work for a startup, so not everything is engineered that well. All I want to be able to do is set a variable on a per node basis that defines a functional grouping, ie a class of server, and query that with mcollective. Should not be difficult to do. Doug.
