The problem that most people were having is pretty simple.  The server must be 
able to find the client using DNS, or else the SSL certificate doesn't end up 
in puppetca.  I don't know exactly where it's failing, but as long as your 
server can do a forward and reverse lookup on your clients, you should be fine. 
 This is only an issue when a client that does not have a certificate connects 
to the server.  As long as the client has a certificate in puppetca, it should 
be fine.

Some people got around this problem by adding the client to the server's 
/etc/hosts until the client's first run was over.

There was one other problem that I remember having to do with serial number 
having a value of zero in certificates.  I don't remember what that affected, 
or if it was fixed though.  It did only happen when using puppetmaster through 
a different server like Mongrel or Passenger.  I don't remember which one(s) it 
is though.
