so even more wierdness....

I moved the auth.conf and the namespaceauth.conf files on the
puppetmaster, restarted the puppetmaster daemon in debug
mode.....and...

no error...not a single one -- puppetclients connect just fine, and
puppetrun works correctly...

I must be missing something here ....since the docs are saying at
least one of these files are needed on the puppetmaster.
