Description

Somehow 0.24.4 requires the 'puppet' user, and it should not.

Sorry -- more detail should have been provided.

There is a setting in defaults.rb that is used by puppetd, and that setting specifies that a file is owned by the 'puppet' user. This effectively means the puppetd process requires this user, when it really shouldn't.

I *think* the setting is related to yaml, and there's a good chance we'll need to make separate server and client yaml directories, since they'd never quite work together.
