Hi Gary, there are two things I noticed about the Puppet package:
1) On Solaris 9, the puppetd service is not setup correctly. The postinstall skript finishes with "chroot: No such file or directory", because it tries to invoke the svccfg and svcadm commands from SMF, which don't exist in Solaris 9. A regular init style script had to be created instead. 2) The preinstall skript creates the group and user "puppet" with unspecified gid/uid. This is not a nice thing in our environment (using LDAP for user management), because the "randomly" selected uid/gid might get assigned to a real person later on. We could work around this by creating the puppet user in advance, beforce installing the packet, but I don't see a point in creating this user at all, because the puppetd has to run as root anyway. A dedicated puppet user is appropriate for the puppetmasterd, on the central puppet server, but it is not required on each client. (And for the server, puppetmasterd has the "--mkuser" option which takes care of that.)
