Bug #11431: puppet kick missing crucial documentation

The page at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/man/kick.html says

> You will most likely have to run 'puppet kick' as root to get access to the 
> SSL certificates.

Please document which certificates that puppet kick uses.  Does it need to read 
the server's CA cert, or the individual hostname certs?  I have found that it 
needs access to the ssldir of the server, not the client from where you are 
running kick.

To avoid having to add --ssldir or --vardir to every puppet kick invocation, it 
would help if we can put this in a section of the puppet.conf file.  Can we do 
something like this?  (my example below doesn't appear to work.

<pre>
[kick]
         vardir = /servers/var/dir
</pre>
