Thank you for your reply! Just to double-check if I understand this correctly: Enabling the storeconfigs on the client *and* allow it to access the mysql-db is *only* useful if - I distribute my manifest via rsync or git or a puppet file resource. - and run 'puppet apply somemanifest' by a cronjob on the client? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
