Feature suggestion: Allow to configure hiera, fileserver and auth.conf

[Freeaqingme]

Right now, the only way to configure fileserver.conf, auth.conf and hiera, you need to override the template. Perhaps it'd be nice to be able to do so using puppet types as well.

Well, it's a good idea, but it's not a priority (for me, at least).
Mostly because these files do not change much, generally, so it might not be worth the effort to provide defines or type to manage them granularly... my2c

I can not get it to work? fileserver.conf

is the error I receive. It is strange as it is dumping the contents of the template....
