Not sure if you guys know that or not (or if that applies to what you
guys discussed): puppet lets you define filserver modules that are per
node by putting something like
[private]
path /some/path/%h
allow allow 10.8.34.0/24
in your fileserver.conf [1] for sensitive per-node data.
The problem isn't client-side - the problem is giving people limited
access to modify the puppet manifests and the puppet file server. I
haven't yet thought of a good way to do that - we may just need to take
a "trust but verify" style approach. That however might mean that we
can't open up access as widely as we'd like.
