Bug #5167: genconfig makes misleading references to 'puppet master'
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5167

Author: Nigel Kersten
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: documentation
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


<pre>
$ puppetd --genconfig
# The configuration file for agent.  Note that this file
...
    # The user puppet master should run as.
    # The default value is 'puppet'.
    # user = puppet
...

    # The main Puppet configuration directory.  The default for this parameter 
is calculated based on the user.  If th
e process
    # is running as root or the user that `puppet master` is supposed to run 
as, it defaults to a system directory, bu
t if it's running as any other user,
    # it defaults to being in `~`.
    # The default value is '/home/nigel/.puppet'.
    # confdir = /home/nigel/.puppet
...
</pre>

etc. This is confusing. Not that the whole generation of every possible config 
setting for all puppet applications isn't confusing in itself, but this is 
particularly so.
