Summary:                    Typo in SMF start method of puppet agent
Description: 
There is a typo in the start method for the puppet agent (2.6.9):

sysconfdir="/etc/csw/opt"

should be

sysconfdir="/etc/opt/csw"

As a result of this mistake the config file will not be parsed.

What about changing the start skript to run puppet with --config or
--confdir? It's more intuitive for the user. You could create /etc/puppet
and document it per README.CSW 

Otherwise a user has to change the start skript, which is - in my opinion
- not so "nice". Changing a configuration is one thing, changing a start
skript is another (again, my opinion). After upgrading a package the config
file will be overwritten and then the software doesn't work and it's
monday, the admin is in vacation ... you know ;-)

Just my two cents.
