Bug #4192: Puppet changes permissions on /var/run, causing security spam every 
night from OpenBSD

Puppet wants /var/run to be mod 1777 on OpenBSD, but it's mod 755:

<pre>
debug: /File[/var/run]: Changing mode
debug: /File[/var/run]: 1 change(s)
debug: /File[/var/run]/mode: mode changed '755' to '1777'
</pre>

I'm not really certain why puppet cares about that folder's permissions. 
Someone on IRC claimed this didn't happen on Linux, however on my Linux boxes 
my /var/run is mod 1777.

The end result of this is that the security reports from OpenBSD come in every 
night, when they should only be coming in when there is a security problem.
