please remove the commented out lines. We do not want commented out source in the code. We can always use git to see what the lines used to be.

You will also need to update the files in |
Confirmed a few more defaults and fixed them

SuSE stores its keys in /etc/ntp.keys - but it seems to fail by default when keys /etc/ntp/keys are specified in /etc/ntp.conf

Well that makes sense. We are looking in the wrong place. Make the path for /etc/ntp/keys a variable.
SuSE seems to have a bug and ntp fails when key is specified in /etc/ntp.conf. A line needs to be changed in /etc/init.d/ntp for ntp keys to work

Introduced $ntp_key_enable variable. - Not sure it is a good idea,
Would be good for others to test
On SuSE - a modication to /etc/init.d/ntp script seems to be necessary for the ntp keys to work. and by default the ntp_key location is /etc/ntp.keys

I added an ntp_key_enable option in ntp/manifests/init.pp and left the SLED/SLES default as "not enabled = false" |

is this a solaris default or an Ericsson specifc thing?

It is not real an Ericsson specific thing - but Solaris default, The default admin file = /var/sadm/install/admin/default also lists keystore=/var/sadm/security as the keystore directory - however, the default admin file causes interactive installation.

Tested on Solaris and RedHat.
for Solaris default ntp packages/service is a matter of test. Includes both SUNWntp4* and SUNWntp* and also service: ntp4/ntp
I find ntp to be more standard that ntp4 - maybe we can simply set it from hiera.
The installed packages are stored in $default_package_source = '/var/sadm/pkg' - but may be better to specify a repo name explicity. heira??
Please note that the same issue experience earlier with ssh package array failing on Solaris applies to ntp packages as well. Fails with cannot convert array to string. - it must be a puppet limitation when it comes to Solaris. Can i implement the array package check differently??
Tomorrow, I will test the module on SuSE as well - most likely works out of the box.
