Issue #4224 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Status changed from Needs design decision to Needs more information Affected Puppet version deleted (2.6.0rc2)
I'm a bit confused where the "bug" is here. My questions are: * Are we talking about just puppetmaster? or all "puppet <submodule>" invocations? * When we use 'user' here, can we clearly distinguish between the user who launched the puppet process, and the system user as specified in the config file or supplied with command line arguments? ---------------------------------------- Bug #4224: vardir and confdir should be in ~/.puppet if not run as root https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4224 Author: Matt Robinson Status: Needs more information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Statler Affected Puppet version: Keywords: defaults settings Branch: There's currently logic (which_dir) in lib/puppet/util/run_mode.rb that uses /var/lib/puppet and /etc/puppet if you're running puppetmaster regardless of if you're running it as root. James agrees this is not correct behavior. I guess the logic at some point was that if you're running puppetmaster you must need root. That seems backwards to me since master doesn't really need root, except to maybe switch to run as the puppet user, and if anything this logic should apply to the agent, but perhaps not even then. def var_dir which_dir( (Puppet.features.microsoft_windows? ? File.join(Dir::WINDOWS, "puppet", "var") : "/var/lib/puppet"), "~/.puppet/var" ) end def which_dir( global, user ) #FIXME: we should test if we're user "puppet" # there's a comment that suggests that we do that # and we currently don't. expand_path case when name == :master; global when Puppet.features.root?; global else user end end -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
