So, I used workgroup manager to create a user and group puppet/ puppet. I was hesitant to do this before, as I didn't (and still don't) know what all to configure on the account (password, level of access, etc), and I also wanted to at least try to troubleshoot whether --mkusers didn't work because of something I was missing/ mangling, or if it just, well, didn't work.
Getting a different error now: 15:58:11 tester:/etc/puppet root# puppetmasterd --verbose --debug Ruby on darwin is broken; puppetmaster will not set its UID to 'puppet' and must run as root and system.log: Feb 6 15:24:38 tester puppetmasterd[13934]: Reopening log files Feb 6 15:24:38 tester puppetmasterd[13934]: Starting Puppet server version 0.24.7 Not perfect, but the daemon runs, and a test from a client (# puppetd --server myserver.domain.com --waitforcert 60 --test) is producing the expected results. I'm seeing hope! This is the ruby I'm running: 15:25:05 tester:/etc/puppet root# /usr/bin/ruby -v ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [universal-darwin8.0] I upgraded ruby to 1.8.6 before I started monkeying around with puppet, because I was aware of some issues with 1.8.2 that came stock in 10.4. Not sure why it's complaining. Now that we've gotten this far there are a lot more things I want to test and try out, but it's late Friday afternoon, so I have a good to- do list for Monday morning. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for the assistance thus far.
