Yes, I believe you can if you know how, unless it's changed very
recently. It was discussed a while ago, and if I remember correctly,
all you need is a valid Puppet certificate to access any "Files" (ie:
puppet:///modules/$module_name/foo/bar) in any module, regardless of
if the class is included on a node or not.
If you're afraid of that, you could pass your private key file content
across the wire using 'content' instead of 'source':
file { "/etc/pki/woof.pem":
content => generate( [ "/bin/cat", "/etc/puppet/private/
woof.pem" ] ),
}
Check the correct format for generate(). That's a terrible idea if the
catalog gets written to disk anywhere. Can someone confirm?
