I no longer have a RHEL4 system to try it on but our standard until a few months ago was RHEL4 and puppetd --test certainly used to work (--test includes --no-daemonize)
I seem to remember that we had other problems with Ruby as supplied by Centos4 so we installed these: ruby-1.8.5-5.el4.centos.1.i386.rpm ruby-irb-1.8.5-5.el4.centos.1.i386.rpm ruby-libs-1.8.5-5.el4.centos.1.i386.rpm ruby-mode-1.8.5-5.el4.centos.1.i386.rpm ruby-rdoc-1.8.5-5.el4.centos.1.i386.rpm Didn't see any problems after that.
