The "pluginsync" config var defaults to false. I believe there's a ticket to default it to true in the future. But until that happens you have a few options: 1. Populate "pluginsync = true" in "puppet.conf" before the first run. 2. Use the "--pluginsync" argument on the first run 3. Possibly use stages to send out the correct "puppet.conf" before any modules use variables that are populated by custom facts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
