But applying a vardir change to [main] will affect all other executibles. We have the client on every box (including the server) have a vardir of /var/lib/puppet (stock). The server runs with a completely different vardir for replication/redundancy/backup purposes. Apparently puppet kick needs access to the server's vardir?

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> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
