[Puppet Users] filebucket retrieval

Hi,

While at LCA this year I was talking to James Turnbull, and I think he
said it was possible to
  a) pull files off a puppet client to the puppet master
  b) push those files out to other puppet clients

I''ve been reading up on FileBucket and I don''t understand how
I can
achieve that, or if I''m on the right track. Whats at
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#filebucket
suggests that I''m not on the right track.

Can anyone suggest of the right way to use filebucket to do this, or if
there is something else I should be reading up on.

My end goal for this is to build a /var/lib/misc/passwd.db and group.db
on the puppet master (using nss_updatedb, from ldap), and then push out
those .db files to the puppet clients.

Thanks!
