I was originally coming at this because of an issue with an implementation 
I was working on. I was working off of 2.6.16 and decided I wanted to try 
and /opt install of puppet. To make a long story short, puppet was only 
searching /etc/puppet/auth.conf for the ACL file and not /opt directory. 
Anyhow, I figured my problem was something to do with the indirector not 
specifying the correct terminus point. Eventually I submitted that the 
easiest way was to symlink my ACL file to the /etc/puppet/auth.conf; 
however this defeats the purpose of a /opt dir install and would be wrong 
sysadmin-fu. I figured it would be nice to document this and perhaps 
prepare a patch for any adventurous puppet professionals/enthusiasts who 
think shooting themselves in the foot is fun.

I am a big fan of IT automation and would love to help contribute in any 
way I can. It would be great if you could point out any issues that have 
been on the back burner for some time and need hacking apart.
