I am wondering is whether it makes sense to have a single machine connect to multiple, distinct Puppetmaster instances.

My use case is that i have different privilege level I want to grant to server operators. We already operate a fairly (~100) wide array of Puppet clients connected to a single Puppetmaster, on which we use exported resources to configure Nagios, Munin, Backups and so on. Fairly standard stuff. But now we have another project where we setup a completely separate Puppetmaster for a client, as we didn't want to grant them access to our internal infrastructure. Yet we would like to import the exported resources on their servers into our monitoring infrastructure so that we can monitor their machines.

I guess another way to frame the question is: is it possible to run (multiple?) Puppet clients on a single machine, connected to multiple, distinct Puppetmasters?

Or would there be a way to share exported resources or data between Puppetmaster while limiting access?

(I know that Puppet can be scaled horizontally by deploying multiple Puppetmaster servers in a load balancing setup. This question is not about that.)

I seem to recall being able to start qemu with only the terminal emulator output, with the graphic window disabled. And here I don't mean with the ncurses interface, that one is nice, but I want the output to flow directly into my terminal, to make cut and paste easier.

I have tried:

qemu -nographic binary.img # simply no display
qemu -curses binary.img # nice text output, but not directly flowing in the terminal
qemu -noframe -curses binary.img # same as above
qemu -nographic -curses binary.img

I guess an acceptable workaround would be for me to be able to resize the curses console to fit the terminal I am using. Right now it's annoying because it doesn't fit the terminal size...

qemu -curses  binary.img

Notice how the display is indented 12 spaces? Annoying. :)
