Hi Guyz, After lot of changes, I finally found out the solution for the problem, it was the /etc/sysconfig/puppet and /etc/logrotate.d/puppet file.
Once I removed this file everything works perfectly. Apparently this file I guess overrides the commandline flags I give to puppetd when starting it up like this usr/sbin/puppetd --certname=xxx.xxxxxx -- logdest=/var/log/cloud/puppet/puppet.log when I did a ps aux | grep puppet, I found that the puppet process eventually ran with different settings: /usr/bin/ruby usr/sbin/puppetd -logdest=/var/log/puppet/puppet.log the certname option was totally ignored here also note that the log is actually stored under /log/puppet. I still do not understand how this file could affect the hostname for certificate creation strangely things are working perfectly now even when I do not force the puppetd with the --certname flag.
