Issue #17702 has been updated by Brian LaShomb.

I didn't see anything later than 3.0.1... or do you mean move back a version? 
I'm looking on http://downloads.puppetlabs.com

Bug #17702: Puppet 3.0.1 for OS X fails when run as sudo

I'm getting errors trying to use Puppet 3.0.1 agent on Macs. I'm running 3.0.1 
on the master. 

I've tried to connect a puppet agent to the master in two setups. Both provide 
the same result. One is from a base image running 10.8.2 and puppet 2.7.19, 
which I then installed puppet 3.0.1 on top of. And the second is just 
installing puppet 3.0.1 on a fresh 10.8.1 VM, straight from Apple installer.

I get errors initially because the group puppet isn't found, and I imagine that 
is screwing up the install:
<pre>
Error: /File[/var/log/puppet]: Could not evaluate: Could not find group puppet
Error: Could not prepare for execution: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: 
Could not evaluate: Could not find group puppet
</pre>

So then I add puppet user and group using puppet one-liners (ensure => present) 
and add puppet user to puppet group using dscl.

Then when I try a sudo puppet agent -t, I get this:
<pre>
Error: Could not create resources for managing Puppet's files and directories 
in sections [:main, :agent, :ssl]: undefined method `string' for nil:NilClass
Error: Could not prepare for execution: Could not create resources for managing 
Puppet's files and directories in sections [:main, :agent, :ssl]: undefined 
method `string' for nil:NilClass
undefined method `string' for nil:NilClass
</pre>

When I try to run this without sudo, it ignores the certname (maybe the whole 
file) in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf and creates a new SSL cert, although 
consipicously absent is the feedback that it's creating a new SSL cert. But 
when I check the master with puppet cert list, its there. After signing, and 
rerunning puppet agent -t I get this, along with the rest of the puppet run and 
it runs successfully.
<pre>
test-macbook:~ local$ puppet agent -t --waitforcert=60
Info: Caching certificate for test-macbook.ommin
</pre>

Is this a bug or does puppet agent not need root anymore?
