Im new to puppet on mac, so i might be doing something wrong... However, I cannot get puppet to run as the root user. I get messages regarding not being able to create the required directories. Here is the debug/trace outbput that I am getting:

Maybe root is not required to run the puppet agent on mac?? I do not know. I also see there are some bugs on the issue tracker with similar errors, but the posters of those bugs dont seem to have the problem of not being able to start puppet as root. Any idea what am missing? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
