Section Number and Name: 

Either "1.1. System Requirements" or "File System Guidelines" section under section 1.3.


Describe the issue: 

Since Red Hat Satellite\capsule 6.4 , A well-known issue for puppetserver service running on Satellite is having /tmp being separately mounted with noexec option set. If "/tmp" is being mounted as a separate filesystem, It's very specific requirement of this component itself to run or get started as a service only if /tmp has 1777 permission and mounted with "exec" option as by default the temporary directory of this component is /tmp but we don't mention that anywhere in our product documentation.


Suggestions for improvement: 

Recommendation here is to add this information under "1.1. System Requirements" or "File System Guidelines" section under section 1.3, so that users can stay informed about it.
~~
* If /tmp is being mounted as a seperate filesystem then ensure not using "noexec" mount option in /etc/fstab for this filesystem. If it's already mounted, then consider fix the same and mount back /tmp with "exec" option as It's a requirement for puppetserver service to get started.

Additional information: 

* Attached solutions articles will prove my point here.

* The same suggestion is applicable for Red Hat Satellite Capsule as well.
