• Install openntpd with custom ntp servers

    class { "openntpd":
      server => [ 'ntp1.example42.com' , 'ntp2.example42.com' ]
    }
  

• Install openntpd and act as ntp server

    class { "openntpd":
      server_local => true,
    }
  

• Disable openntpd service.

    class { "openntpd":
      disable => true
    }

    class { "openntpd":
      disableboot => true
    }
  

• Remove openntpd package

    class { "openntpd":
      absent => true
    }
  

• Enable auditing without without making changes on existing openntpd configuration files

    class { "openntpd":
      audit_only => true
    }
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Use custom sources for main config file

    class { "openntpd":
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/openntpd/openntpd.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/openntpd/openntpd.conf" ], 
      template => undef, # You have to unset the default template
    }
  

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

    class { "openntpd":
      source_dir       => "puppet:///modules/lab42/openntpd/conf/",
      source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
    }
  

• Use custom template for main config file

    class { "openntpd":
      template => "example42/openntpd/openntpd.conf.erb",
    }
  

• Define custom options that can be used in a custom template without the need to add parameters to the openntpd class

    class { "openntpd":
      template => "example42/openntpd/openntpd.conf.erb",    
      options  => {
        'LogLevel' => 'INFO',

      puppi        => true,
      puppi_helper => "myhelper", 
    }
