Issue #4867 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

I'm a little confused here, but perhaps I'm missing something.

>From my understanding, puppet has always refused to run if you've asked it to

with your config file, can you show us what user/group you're running as?

<pre>
puppetd --configprint user ; puppetd --configprint group
</pre>

Is it possible that under 0.25.x you were distributing a config file telling 
the agent to run as a different user that actually did exist?

Bug #4867: On Solaris, puppet client requires the puppet user to exist before 
running
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4867

Author: Brian Gallew
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nick Lewis
Category: agent
Target version: 2.6.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.1
Keywords: 
Branch: 


WHen I ran 0.25.5, I relied on the puppet client to create the puppet user.  
Since I've upgraded to 2.6.1, the puppet user must already exist before the 
puppet client will run, otherwise the puppet client bails with an error:
err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find user puppet

This seems to be a fairly major regression.
