I think the best way I can explain this is to point you to the full recipe.
https://github.com/Firebladee/Puppet/tree/master/modules/check_mk You will see in the init.pp file that it creates a file on the agent and then copies the file to the server.

A bit confused with your answer : what do you mean *on bar* and *on foo*. Is it mean on the machine 'foo' or node 'foo' {blah...blah } on puppet-server ? I tried defining both for the corresponding nodes, but it does nothing. On Friday, October 26, 2012 4:53:28 PM UTC+2, Fireblade wrote: Yes you can use storedconfig's.

I am looking for something similar to the *server* method in *cfengine copy* where one can provide a server name for the source file. Here is what I have tried and failed : node 'foo.mydom.org<http://foo.mydom.org>' inherits default { include foo_class::setup } foo_class::setup defined in the modules/foo_class/setup.pp in the puppet-server node. class foo_class::setup { file { "etc_passwd_file" : path => "/etc/passwd", source => "puppet://bar.mydom.org//${path_to_file}<http://bar.mydom.org/$%7Bpath_to_file%7D>", } } When running puppet --noop --server=puppet --no-daemonize --verbose --onetime I get error : " .....
