I may not have been clear..
We don't "currently" use a puppet master, although we are currently
evaluating this, among other options moving forward. The mess I was left
with appears to have absolutely minimal configuration as to just get to
point B as quickly as possible.
So when these instances come up the directory that the modules are
untarred in are just that. A dumping place for the entire puppet repo
since we have no master.
/etc/facter/ doesn't exist at all, while this can be remedied I would think
that the puppet install should have created it. This is why I have been
looking for a directory that I place my facts in that puppet will just
"pickup" and run. The aforementioned fix did not work, the variables I
need were not present and the proper 'versioned' config files did not
install.
Doing an strace revealed that facter never touched /etc/facter/facter.d/ .
This is troubling because it was before.. Puppet is proving to be very
troublesome.
I just need a place to plop down a few .rb files and then let ruby rip the
install up.
