Hi, Actually I want that nobody in my network can change the hostname as some has already changed the hostname of their node so I want to restrict a check that nobody in the network or outside network can change the hostname as they are already provided the sudo access as per requirement. Also all the nodes in the network are configured with serialnumber.
Can you elaborate more that how "serialnumber" custom fact can be written & the same will be loaded through puppet for every node in the network.

I don't see how that could possibly work. Either it will throw Facter into an infinite loop, or that version of the fact will just never be chosen. There is probably a better approach to your problem than redefining the hostname fact. Not knowing what your actual problem is, I can only speculate, but you might be better off creating and using a "serialnumber" custom fact. You might also want to look into Puppet's "certname" parameter.
