Hi Jonathan & Charles,
Thanks for the great hint. I really made a mistake in using the data-bag information directly in a template. Here is the code which will work:
DataBag:
intChef:~/chef-repo$ knife data bag show GLOBAL NTP
{
"id": "NTP",
"ntp_1_for_testing": "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
}
Recipe:
GLOBAL = data_bag_item('GLOBAL','NTP')
node[:ntp1] = "#{GLOBAL['ntp_1_for_testing']}"
Template:
NTP1 for DOMAIN <%= node[:ntp1] %>
Maybe it's not the correct way to do that but it works!
Regards
Andreas

Irrespective of your problem, already addressed by Charles, take a
look at the Resources wiki page Template section. I believe the
canonical way to reference data in a template, especially when it's
global/data-bag driven and not node-specific, is to use the fact that
it shows up as instance variables inside your template when it's been
passed in correctly. Not node[:blah] values.
I may be wrong, but it WFM :-)
