I haven't tried adding custom functions, but if you add them to the node running puppet, I cannot see why it should only work for a puppetmaster. The documentation might be written in such a way as to point out that puppetd is not going to sync your custom functions (from the master) to the client node. I think standalone puppet is a whole different story. > - and is it possible to save the output of an exec resource to a puppet > variable?

Are you sure you don't want a custom fact instead? What you are asking sounds like a rather awkward hack to me.
