What is the preferred method for running the puppet client in OS X? So far all methods I've tried seem to default to running the client as the root user. Should this be changed to run as a puppet user?
Should I explicitly define "puppet" as the user in puppet.conf? As a test I ran "puppetd --test --debug -v" and successfully had it check my puppetmaster while the OS X directories (/etc/puppet, /var/ lib/puppet/*) were owned by root, and it still worked. Additionally, is the puppetmasterd process / configuration necessary to run only the client on OS X? Using Puppet's provided spec file for CentOS I can create a "client only" RPM, but can not seem to do this from source or using the provided shell script in conf/osx.
