O/S on server is CentOS 5.4. O/S on client(s) is CentOS 5.5

I answered this one in the previous message, but I got the source from
Puppet Labs, modified the RPM spec file to make it work, and built the
RPM's from that,.

Well, didn't know that existed. Maybe due to lack of documentation.
Every time I've complained about the spec files not being maintained
in the source code, Puppet labs people have said it wasn't their job
to maintain the spec file. Given that there are pre-build RPM's on the
puppet labs web site, I guess it's someone's job to maintain the spec
file.

I'll give the client a try first. Little more worried about updating the server.
