imho the tripple slashes just mean: puppet://puppet/ So you might want to do: puppet://$server/ I agree that it is confusing if you can set a server in the config. So it might be worth to do a feature request for that? However then I'd like to propose that you could additionally set fileserver variable in puppet.conf as it would then be easier to distribute the load. And we all could now use the rather simple Puppet:/// So the schmea could be the following: - take fileserver from config if set - take server from config if set and fileserver not set - take puppet if both are not set cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
