I guess its reasonable for it to not require puppet-server, although at this point it seems to be more heavily tied to puppet-server (specifically the fact that the cobbler ext node url is puppet and i put the config file in /etc/puppet) than a generic script. I'm open to ideas on where to adjust so that its less tied. Would someone using this with puppet not be running it on a system with puppet-server? I guess it could be considered a reverse dependency, as puppet-server needs this for functionality even though it needs puppet-server for the config directory. But at the end of the day, whichever way you guys want it, as long as it works, i'm willing to change it to. -greg
