I guess in principle it's for the same reason that the agent needs to run with root privilege: it otherwise doesn't have sufficient access to do its job. In practice, I can't think of very many things I would expect 'puppet resource' to be able to find out that are actually privileged, at least on the systems I'm familiar with. There are a few, however, including system passwords (hashes) and service statuses. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
