Hi Everyone, I am using Puppet 2.6.5 to configure fresh VMs. These VMs have their hostname set to localhost.localdomain initially at boot-time.
There is this script file that runs in rc.local and this is what I do inside it 1. I change the hostname from localhost to xxx.xxxxxx using the hostname command. 2. start the puppet agent as /usr/sbin/puppetd --certname=xxx.xxxxxx --logdest=/var/log/puppet/puppet.log The problem I am facing is that the puppet agent on the VMs creates certificates for localhost.localdomain inspite of me changing the hostname to say xxx.xxxxxxx. I want the puppet agent to pick up the new hostname while creating the certificate, but it doesn't seem to be doing that. I am not sure where the puppet agent looks to pick up the hostname at certificate creation, is it the /etc/hosts file or the env or /etc/ sysconfig/network? currently when I set the hostname using the hostname command, it doesnt create any entry in these files. Any help is really appreciated!! Thanks, Sriramu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
