One of the unintended consequences of moving from ext3 images to
instantiation of profiles from metadata (kickstart files right now) is
that we need to update the method for installing the puppet master's
certificate in the client.

When the server was responsible for instantiating images it was pretty
trivial for the server to install the certificate into the client image.

That no longer works, particularly when instantiating a disk-full
client.  What appears to work for me is to create an RPM which
installs the puppet master's certificate and include that RPM in
the install set for all clients.

The obvious downsides is the server is going to have to have an RPM repo
so that clients can pick up the puppet master certificate.  Relatively 
minor.

What's more interesting are the security aspects.  

Thoughts/comments?
