I'm just starting out with puppet and have been seeing problems very similar to those in ticket #3083:
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3083 First, an overview of my configuration. I have three physical servers, each running puppet 0.25.4. One of the servers is going to be my puppetmaster as well as a client. The other two servers in my configuration will only be puppetd clients. Their forward and reverse DNS do not match and, for political reasons, I can't change them. I've set up puppetmasterd running on the main IP address of the first server. The puppetmaster's puppet.conf contains: certname = server.example.com And the client's puppet.con contains: certname = client1.example.com When I run puppetd with: puppetd --server server.example.com --fqdn client1.example.com I get the following for some seemingly random number of files in my manifests: puppetd[67238]: (//stats/File[/home/procrast/stats/denora.conf]) Failed to retrieve current state of resource: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet://badger.valinor.net/stats/denora.conf: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass at /etc/puppet/modules/stats/manifests/init.pp:15 I gather from my reading that it's DNS related somehow, but I'm not sure what else I need to set in order to override whatever puppet thinks the client/server should be.
