The Fedora/EPEL packages don''t change this.  I''m not sure if
there are
any other yum using distros out there.  But if the OP meant one of
those two, then /var/lib/puppet is the default $vardir.  There''s just
nothing installed there by the packages.  Running puppet will create
whatever files and dirs are needed there.

I think you mean:

    puppetmasterd --genconfig | grep "vardir ="

(Note the d on the end of puppetmaster and s/libdir/vardir :)
