Hi, I''m just gettting back into using puppet. DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" On install adduser mentioned that the /var/lib/puppet directory was not owned by the puppet user. What''s the workaround for this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com.

As a work around, you could create the puppet user, group, and home directory prior to installing the package. There is a related issue: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4204 Please update the issue with your own experiences and issues if it looks to be the same as you''re experiencing.

Must be a better way...A better way for what? I think perhaps I wasn''t communicating well. I rather just meant to say if that looks like your issue, a simple "me too" and watching the ticket is welcome. If you have additional information, please update the issue. Really, the issue is just a simple ownership problem on /var/lib/puppet. chown should fix it for you.
