I can run that command no problem but it never does 'apply' the manifest that
is stated in $PUPPET_ROOT/manifests/nodes.pp which is a fairly simple ntp
install. (see below for nodes.pp & modules/manifests/ntp.pp)
# puppet agent --test --verbose --noop --server ubuntu.ttinet
info: Caching catalog for ubuntu2.ttinet
info: Applying configuration version '1308006207'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds
root@ubuntu2:/etc/puppet# puppet agent --test --verbose --server ubuntu.ttinet
info: Caching catalog for ubuntu2.ttinet
info: Applying configuration version '1308006283'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds
I am quite certain that the problem is me but the documentation never quite
gets to the point where a manifest is actually applied to a remote client and I
have struggled with this for more than 4 hours now.
Thanks
Craig
