I've got a bit of an odd one here that's pretty much stumped me.

Recently, puppet was upgraded on a Fedora 10 system to 0.24.7.  After I made 
sure that puppetmaster was also upgraded to 0.24.7, I found that puppetd 
appeared to start up fine, but never actually did anything.

More troubleshooting with various debug options revealed that if I specified 
--onetime to puppetd, it performed a normal run as expected.  If, however, I 
start it up as normal - exactly the same, except without onetime - the client 
just hangs.

The client claims to have started up normally:

Feb 24 21:26:13 garibaldi-2950 puppetd[21029]: Starting Puppet client version 
0.24.7

And puppetmaster sees the request, and claims to have sent the catalog off:

Feb 24 21:26:17 lorien puppetmasterd[18506]: Compiled catalog for 
garibaldi-2950.wpi.edu in 1.04 seconds

After that, though, the client never declares "Starting catalog run". 
Pointing strace at the client shows that it's a select() loop, which implies 
to me that it's waiting around for something to do, rather than locked up or 
crashed.

I tried wiping out the contents of /var/lib/puppet and restarting, and once 
puppetd got the new signed cert, it did exactly the same thing.

The puppetmaster in question is server about a dozen other clients, including 
at least one other 0.24.7 client on Fedora 8, so I'm assuming that it's not a 
puppetmaster side problem.

I do have SELinux enabled, but there aren't any denial messages logged, and 
also tried it with SELinux set to permissive, and nothing changed.

Anyone have any suggestions for anything else for me to try?
