As you've now found, this is an old request. Weirdly, I could *swear* I added a bitflip to disable all of this management if desired, but I can't find it in defaults.rb. As I always ask, though, why not just change the config to point it where you want? confdir and vardir are relocatable, it's really just puppet.conf that's not relocatable by default. -- Getting caught is the mother of invention. --Robert Byrne --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies -|- http://puppetlabs.com -|- +1(615)594-8199 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
