On my systems I only need to push out the contents of the 'computergroup' directory. Configuring puppetmasterd First we need to get the server to make the files available. I copy the files to from /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/computergroups to /var/puppet/bucket and make sure they are owned root:staff (puppet will complain if it can't copy the files to an existing users ownership).
