I know. > and the file /var/run/puppetd.pid is created Not from /etc/init.d/puppet it isn't: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- start_puppet() { start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/puppet/$NAME.pid \ --startas $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hence my asking what you have under [puppetd] in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf, which you chose not to answer. If, for example, you have: rundir = /var/run ...then you will see exactly the symptoms you describe.
