[Puppet Users] puppet agent 4.0 running as root vs puppet server 2.0 running as puppet

I'm running into a frustrating issue, and I'm wondering if I'm just not doing something right. My understanding is that the puppet agent has to run with the config "user" and "group" set to "root" so that it can make changes to the system. The puppet server, on the other hand, runs as user and g

Re: [Puppet Users] How to view the change in files on the puppet client?

The option you're looking for is --show_diff However, you should just use "puppet agent runonce --test" when testing stuff; the --test flag sets all of the flags that you normally use for debugging, including --no-daemonize, --verbose, and --show_diff (plus a few others -- see the man page).

[Puppet Users] Re: Can't Execute Scripts?

John, Thank you for your help; it pointed me in the right direction. My problem ended up being something quirky to our environment. Someone setup a script so when we pushed files a header would be added that said "Managed by Puppet" and such so no one would modify that file from the end system

[Puppet Users] Re: Is anyone using puppet server 2.0.0 successfully?

I recall reading that this default has changed in the latest releases of Puppetserver for the reasons you cite. If this host is a dedicated Puppemaster, be aware that the number of threads will dramatically affect the throughput of your master. Determining catalog compile time is pretty simple;
