You want the fqdn that is in $trusted - the "regular" fqdn can be
spoofed.
The ENC gets the fqdn on the command line. I'd presume this is trusted
from the certificate since communication between the master and client
is predicated on the SSL.
The ENC then "assigns" a class to A.
Is there anything B can do to get module foo added to its catalog if
only the ENC adds module foo to node's catalogs?
I suppose ENC gets the trusted fqdn, but I don't know.
There is nothing B can do on its own. You naturally have to review your
puppet code so B cannot simply set a fact and the logic would use that
to include logic you don't want on B.
