Just wanted to add, here's how you add a "--logdest=" option to the two
major distributions: redhat and Debian:
On redhat, add "PUPPET_LOG=/var/log/puppet-agent.log" to /etc/sysconfig/puppet
On Debian, add to /etc/default/puppet the following:
LOG_DEST=/var/log/puppet-agent.log
DAEMON_OPTS="--logdest=${LOG_DEST}"
