ok, i found out what pastebin is. All on my own!! :-) But puppet agent
--trace doesn't give me very much output. Only:
[root@gmatzpupnode ~]# puppet agent --trace
/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/daemon.rb:47:in `create_pidfile'
/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util.rb:38:in `synchronize_on'
/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/1.8/sync.rb:230:in `synchronize'

/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/daemon.rb:22:in `daemonize'
/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/application/agent.rb:255:in
`setup'
/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/application.rb:286:in `run'
/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/application.rb:393:in
`exit_on_fail'
/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/application.rb:286:in `run'
/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/command_line.rb:55:in
`execute'
/usr/local/bin/puppet:4
Could not prepare for execution: Could not create PID file:
/var/run/pe-puppet/agent.pid
it looks like it's failing, actually . . .
thanks,
guy
