Re: [Puppet Users] Modules Question
However, this leaves me puzzled that I may not fully understand the
way stored configs/modules work.
I have another module that does not have an init.pp and it works??
class user::virtual
{
init.pp is not mandatory for a module per se, but it is the place the
autoloader will look for a class named "user" - in this example, you
don't have a user class, just a user::virtual class, so..
include user::virtual
... will direct the autoloader to look in
/user/manifests/virtual.pp
If you were to want to add a class named user, you would put this in a
file called init.pp.
Does that make more sense?

Re: [Puppet Users] Modules Question
Craig;
Thank you for your repl(ies)!
However, this leaves me puzzled that I may not fully understand the way
stored configs/modules work.
I have another module that does not have an init.pp and it works??
class user::virtual
{
@user {fabauto:
ensure => present,
comment => "FabricAutomation_account"}
@user {graham: ensure => present}
@user {steven: ensure => present}
@user {grace: ensure => present}
}
__
node 'default' {
include test
include motd
#include sudoers
include user::virtual
include user::developers
include ssh::hostkeys
include ssh::knownhosts
}
Thanks so much for the help!

I have written a module and if I try to call the module via nodes.pp
from a file named other than init.pp, I get an error that the module
cannot be found. If I rename the file to init.pp, it works fine.
So, can someone clarify, is the naming of the file a requirement?
ssh.pp
class ssh::hostkeys{
Yes, the autoloader will look in init.pp for the class named
"modulename" and will look for modulename::subclassname in
subclassname.pp... eg:
# manifests/init.pp
class ssh {
# manifests/hostkeys.pp
class ssh::hostkeys {
