I've read up on this a bit more and I am now beginning to understand how
custom facts work. It did surprise me actually that all custom facts get
instantiated at runtime - I also understand that you can write your ruby
scripts in a way that your custom facts scripts do not necessarily need to
apply
You can also use the puppetlabs stdlib module which provides an easy
ad-hoc way of defining arbitrary facts on a system using text files in
/etc/facter/facts.d/

Many facts are best disco
Facts automatically get distributed to all nodes with pluginsync.
You need to write them in such a way that they will only create the fact on
the nodes that need it.

- it just adds a string to a fact. However I have written a module but it
appears to me that the custom fact has been applied to all my machines
without me specifying any node definitions. When I run a puppet agent
