The same thing happens during Puppet's settings initialization that is invoked when you pass the '-p' option to Facter (as Thomas mentioned, this is deprecated). Likewise, the path can be specified to Facter by using the FACTERLIB environment variable set to a list of paths to search for custom facts. Facter 3 will be adding a '--custom-dir' command line option that is another way of specifying where custom facts are stored. I hope this helps. -- *Join us at **PuppetConf 2015, October 5-9 in Portland, OR - *www. <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEnS7itqgvQV3E4Se1fu4Um_UapSw> 2015.puppetconf.com <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2F2015.puppetconf.com&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNE1uQL4Sh23Vr-XkPLa4xfNcoXSog> *Register early to save 40%!* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
