Jira (PUP-10627) write public information to puppet_dir/public

[R.I.Pienaar (Jira)]

Title: Message Title

R.I.Pienaar commented on PUP-10627   Re: write public information to puppet_dir/public The file was not executable. It doesn’t indicate what the load of the system is and there are far simpler ways to determine what version of puppet is being run. It holds SIGNIFICANTLY less information than a report - as a response to “by default even reports should be accessible”. You are right which is why they are not. This summary file is not nearly as big a deal as suggested here. And those who are in highly controlled environments are used to tightening things down. This file has a very useful utility - and that is so that monitoring tools monitoring the health of puppet does not need to be run as root.
