Issue #9862 has been updated by Alex Harvey.
I'm still concerned about AIX - file_settings.rb has
<pre>
Allowed = %w{root service}
...
def assert_allowed_value(parameter, value)
if not Allowed.include?(value)
raise SettingError, "The #{parameter} parameter for the setting '#{name}'
must be either 'root' or 'service', not '#{value}'"
end
end
</pre>
I haven't tested it but isn't that going to break on AIX where the process will
run as user root and group system?

Bug #9862: puppet cannot run without puppet group on the system
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9862#change-79160
Author: Jeff McCune
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: Andrew Parker
Category: settings
Target version: 3.1.0
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.0
Keywords: settings
Branch:
https://github.com/zaphod42/puppet/tree/issue/master/9862-cannot-run-without-puppet-group
# Overview #
Working with Puppet 2.7.5 I notice that `puppet apply` fails to work properly
if the user puppet is not present on the system. In previous versions of
Puppet, `puppet apply` does not require the user puppet to be present.
This is a problem because puppet apply may be responsible for managing the user
puppet itself. This presents a chicken and an egg problem if puppet apply is
not able to properly manage the resources puppet itself needs.
# Steps to reproduce #
With 2.7.5:
<pre>
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet apply --modulepath /vagrant/modules
/vagrant/manifests/vmsetup.pp --noop
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.74 seconds
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/rrd]: Could not evaluate: Could not find group puppet
err: Could not send report: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: Could not
evaluate: Could not find group puppet
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet --version
2.7.5
root@pe-centos6:~# facter --version
1.6.1
</pre>
# Expected Behavior #
With 2.6.10 it works as expected:
<pre>
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet --version
2.6.10
root@pe-centos6:~# facter --version
1.6.1
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet apply --modulepath /vagrant/modules
/vagrant/manifests/vmsetup.pp --noop
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.67 seconds
root@pe-centos6:~#
</pre>
# Additional Information #
This bug appears to have been introduced in 2.7.0:
<pre>
root@pe-centos6:~# facter --version
1.6.1
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet --version
2.7.0
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet apply --modulepath /vagrant/modules
/vagrant/manifests/vmsetup.pp --noop
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.75 seconds
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/rrd]: Could not evaluate: Could not find group puppet
err: Could not send report: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: Could not
evaluate: Could not find group puppet
</pre>
Also, I should note this problem exists in the default case. I have no
customizations to puppet.conf at all:
<pre>
root@pe-centos6:~# cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
cat: /etc/puppet/puppet.conf: No such file or directory
</pre>
# Trace #
Here is the trace when running against 2.7.x (2.7.5-91-g2958b05)
<pre>
