Charlie Sharpsteen I went back and looked through exactly what our application is doing. We are using puppet master with the --no-daemonize stanza as we wanted to write an upstart script for it (and this was the most straightforward path, as opposed to PID tracking). Looking through the code for setting up the environment, I noticed that root is actually special cased there:

                                                      def self.setup_default_ext_facts_dirs
    if Facter::Util::Root.root?
      windows_dir = windows_data_dir
      if windows_dir.nil? then
        @external_facts_dirs = ["/etc/facter/facts.d", "/etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d"]
      else
        @external_facts_dirs = [File.join(windows_dir, 'PuppetLabs', 'facter', 'facts.d')]
      end
    else
      @external_facts_dirs = [File.expand_path(File.join("~", ".facter", "facts.d"))]
    end
  end

                                                

and attempts to load the facts from /etc/facter (which seems like the right thing to do), but then, as your analysis pointed to, fails to do the same on reload, after dropping privileges. Simply changing puppet to use a different user does not work well, because it will look for the facts initially in that users directory and I would like to keep them in /etc/facter directory (I think that's standard?). I will look into submitting a pull request for this. Let me know if you have any pointers – thank you!

Puppet master service dies when receives a SIGHUP. This only happens if puppet is run as root. Running puppet master as root with --debug and --no-daemonize shows the actual error:
Notice: Starting Puppet master version 3.5.0
Notice: Caught HUP; calling restart
Notice: Restarting with '/usr/bin/puppet master --masterport=8140 --debug --no-daemonize'
