So, is there no "scope" when we talk about tags? Because I have noticed that,
in more complex scenarios, tags are actually passed around (at this point I
don't know if I should call this inherited, enclosed, or what), like this:
node 'ANY' {
include ssh::server # Default sshd_config
}
node 'WN' inherits 'ANY' {
include ssh::enable_hostbased_auth
}
node 'ppwn01.lcg.cscs.ch' inherits 'WN' {
}
I print this within the ssh::enable_hostbased_auth context:
TAGS: class ssh::enable_hostbased_auth ssh enable_hostbased_auth node wn
So, I get both the tags WN and ssh::enable_hostbased_auth, it means it picked
up the tags from the node, and from the class... but I don't get the
ssh::server, that's comming from the parent of WN.
What I need is a reliable way to do node groups, where I can specify some
configuration parameters per group and per node, and the modules should be
aware of that. Tags don't seem apropiate, and possible neither variables (they
difer within all scopes, and from the modules I can't reference variables
created on the nodes). What's the right way to do this, then?
Thanks!
Pablo
