No official terminal/ruby/puppet installations on the iPhone yet. :) yep, that’s jail-broken, which is such an incredibly easy process now with apps like Pwnage to do it all for you.

What a wonderful world. Question, how does one get a shell in ones iphone like that? Have you hacked it? Or is it something that comes with the iphone SDK? Or am I just dumb?

Use SirAdmin to create an ACL for your cyrus admin user that has all rights to the shared mailbox, then delete it -- the permission denied error will go away.

It generally just works out of the box once you have all the Ruby runtime/OpenSSL etc installed. The main problem is facter assumes that all versions of OS X have 'system_profiler' available, which the phone doesn't. I'm trying a few options here, but I'm not sure it's worth patching facter upstream just to account for crazy hacks on the iPhone :) There’s very little to release at the moment.
