Issue #4867 has been updated by Brian Gallew.
puppetd runs as root when it's applying changes. That user exists. However, many puppet config files should be long to the puppet user. *That* user won't exist until Puppet runs and creates it. 0.25.5 had no problem with this. 2.6.x is broken in this regard. ) begal...@qrnsjump001:~ ; sudo puppetd --configprint user puppet :) begal...@qrnsjump001:~ ; sudo puppetd --configprint group puppet ---------------------------------------- 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. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
