Description

Mcollective will always run with sudo, see: lib/proxy/puppet/mcollective.rb. When MCollective is configured properly, sudo is not needed to run the MCollective client.

I suggest:
1) Remove the following line from lib/proxy/puppet/mcollective.rb:
cmd.push(which("sudo", "/usr/bin"))

2) Implementing option 1 will probably break mcollective support for people who configured MCollective in such a way that sudo is needed. Instead of removing the sudo line it would be nice to have a parameter which enables/disables the sudo command for mcollective.
