I know of several who have managed servers, but want to use Puppet to roll manage the applications they install, and whatelse they have been allowed to manage - but that will never be able to run puppet as root, since the OS is not their responsibility.
Also - some of those, the managers of the server use puppet (as root) to set them up - but again - they can't share puppet repo.. so it would be preferrable to be able to install root elsewhere (they build their own patched version of puppet, to make it support installing under /opt - not something puppet supports very well currently). They are also using puppet on a lot of diff. unix OS'es - so they have to compile it for several themselves, and since they want thing uniform (and none-intrusive) - they choose to install under /opt on all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
