I understand that I can only edit files where permissions allow. But can I
run puppet without a "puppet" user?
Basically, after reading over the documentation, I noticed a number of
references to users ("puppet") and paths (/var/...) that puppet needs to run
that I won't be able to create / have access to because I don't have root on
the boxes. But I didn't see any obvious command lines options / config
settings for changing those users and paths.
I understand if this is not how puppet was designed to be used, but I
figured I'd give it a shot.
