Issue #4867 has been updated by John Warburton.
As per Brian, I run puppet on my clients as the *root* user, so I have assumed
the "user" config option was ignored. The config file option for user states it
is for the puppet master:
# The user puppet master should run as.
# The default value is 'puppet'.
# user = puppet
I have always generated my config files at jumpstart time per note #9
r...@warbjohn# /opt/local/sbin/puppetd --version
0.25.5
r...@warbjohn# /opt/local/sbin/puppetd --config
/var/puppet/etc/puppetd.conf --configprint user
puppet
corwadm010# /opt/local/sbin/puppetd --version
2.6.3
corwadm010# /opt/local/sbin/puppetd --config /var/puppet/etc/puppetd.conf
--configprint user
puppet
If I change my 2.6.3rc2 config to make "user" root, I still get the same error
corwadm010# /opt/local/sbin/puppetd --config /var/puppet/etc/puppetd.conf
--configprint user

err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find user 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.
