Jira (PUP-3459) reports directory created by first puppet agent/apply run, should be created by OS package

Title: Message Title

Wayne Warren commented on an issue   Re: reports directory created by first puppet agent/apply run, should be created by OS package Josh Cooper that was just a workaround for puppet-server. I am going to change the title of this ticket to reflect discussion in that PR where Matthaus Owens suggested that reportsdir have group write permissions and setgid. group write permissions means that the puppet group would have write permissions on reportsdir, setgid on the reportsdir directory will ensure that the group permissions are inherited by subdirectories So even if root creates a subdirectory, the puppet user (having its primary group as the puppet group) will also be able to write to it. Let me know if any further clarification is necessary. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-3459 reports directory created by first puppet agent/apply run, should be created by OS package When running "puppet apply" as root during acceptance/integration test pre_suite in order to stub a host in /etc/hosts, a "reports" directory directory is created as the root user which leads to permissions errors during subsequent runs of puppet as the puppet user. This is a directory that we should definitely not be creating on a programmatic basis. ...
