Puppet is kicking my ass. Maybe I'm having a stupid day.
Anyway -- currently working through the "Simplest Puppet Install Recipe" at <http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ SimplestPuppetInstallRecipe>. Both client and server systems are Centos. Puppet[master] installed from RPMs, client has puppet-0.22.4-1.el5.rf (on Centos 5.2), server has puppet-server-0.22.4-1.el4.rf (on Centos 4.6). Putting in the simple sudo.pp class, and the site.pp as given, and starting the server (via the Redhat init script) went fine. Now, I start puppetd --verbose on the client. I'm supposed to see a message about not receiving a certificate. I don't get one; I get: err: Could not find server puppet: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known err: Could not request certificate: Certificate retrieval failed: Could not find server puppet And I notice at this point that I wasn't directed to configure the server name (or IP) anywhere. So I look at puppetd --help, and look at the online docs, and can't find any hint about how you configure where the server is. So what's up with that? It's probably relevant to mention that the client is behind NAT on a private LAN (it's part of a cluster behind LVS in NAT mode). The client system can connect out to other services on the same host as the puppet server, but if it's depending on picking up server broadcasts or anything, that's not going to fly.
