Puppet users - Sep 2009 - puppet permissons

Today I was testing Puppet''s fileserver feature and and error came up:

client> /usr/sbin/puppetd --test --verbose --server puppet
info: Caching catalog at /var/lib/puppet/localconfig.yaml
notice: Starting catalog run
notice: //Node[default]/sudo/Package[sudo]/ensure: created
err: //Node[default]/sudo/File[/etc/sudoers]: Failed to retrieve current state
of resource: No specified source was found from puppet:///sudo/sudoers
notice: Finished catalog run in 35.44 seconds

However, inspite of the error, the target sudo rpm would be installed and
/etc/sudoers copied over to the client.

Initially the permissions on the sudoers file were set to root.
# ls -l /etc/puppet/modules/sudo/files/sudoers
-r--r----- 1 root root 3819 Sep 24 08:56

The error went away by changing the permissions to puppet

# chown puppet.puppet /etc/puppet/modules/sudo/files/sudoers

Is the entirety of the /etc/puppet directory supposed to be owned by the
puppet user and puppet group?

in simple words, if you want the puppetmaster to be able to send the files
to its client, it needs to be able to read the file ;)
