Puppet users - Jun 2014 - Do modules need to be installed on agents?

Hi,
I'm getting confused about module paths...

In a master - agent configuration, if the classes applied to the agent need 
some additional Forge modules to be installed, is it enough if I install 
them on the master, or do I need to install them on all clients too?

I didn't need to install them on clients... until now, when I started using 
the domcleal-augeasproviders module which appeared to work differently.
And then, trying to get around this and rearranging modules and 
environments, I started having problems with other modules I already used 
before.

For example, on the master I have a custom class which contains a call to 
the class defined in spiette-selinux, like this:

class mymodule::myclass {

  class { 'selinux':
    mode   => 'disabled',
  }

}

If I run a puppet agent --test on a client where myclass is applied, I get 
a "Could not find declared class selinux" error.
This also happens if I install the spiette-selinux module on the client 
itself.

But if the spiette-selinux module is installed, then a simple "puppet apply
manifest.pp" works fine (where manifest.pp only contains the "class { 
'selinux': ...}" section as above).

What am I missing?

The spiette-selinux module is correctly installed on the master, it is 
listed in /etc/puppet/modules when I do a "puppet module list".
The agent is in the "development" environment, and $confdir/modules is
in
the modulepath for the development environment on the master.

Thank you very much.
Marco
