I'm having some weird issues with puppet 2.7.6 on OpenSUSE. When I run puppet in the foreground, it's all fine. However, when I run it as a service, all that get's logged is:
abc:/var/log/puppet # cat puppet.log Tue Mar 20 10:11:57 -0700 2012 Puppet (warning): iconv doesn't seem to support UTF-8/UTF-16 conversions Tue Mar 20 10:11:58 -0700 2012 Puppet (notice): Reopening log files Tue Mar 20 10:11:57 -0700 2012 Puppet (warning): iconv doesn't seem to support UTF-8/UTF-16 conversions Although, it seems to be running fine. When I stop the daemon, the following is immediately flushed to puppet.log: Tue Mar 20 10:12:47 -0700 2012 Puppet (notice): Starting Puppet client version 2.7.6 Tue Mar 20 10:12:48 -0700 2012 Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Tue Mar 20 10:12:48 -0700 2012 Puppet (notice): Using cached catalog Tue Mar 20 10:12:50 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Sudo::Common/File[/etc/sudoers] (err): Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///modules/sudo/etc/sudoers: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known at /etc/puppet/modules/sudo/manifests/common.pp:17 Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Snmp::Agent/File[/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf] (err): Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///modules/snmp/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known at /etc/puppet/modules/snmp/manifests/agent.pp:26 Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Snmp::Agent/Service[snmpd] (notice): Dependency File[/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf] has failures: true Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Snmp::Agent/Service[snmpd] (warning): Skipping because of failed dependencies Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Ssh::Server/File[/etc/ssh/sshd_config] (err): Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///modules/ssh/etc/ssh/sshd_config: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known at /etc/puppet/modules/ssh/manifests/server.pp:26 Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Ssh::Server/Service[sshd] (notice): Dependency File[/etc/ssh/sshd_config] has failures: true Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Ssh::Server/Service[sshd] (warning): Skipping because of failed dependencies Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Mcollective::Agent/File[/usr/libexec/mcollective/mcollective/agent/package.rb] (err): Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///modules/mcollective/agent/package.rb: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known at /etc/puppet/modules/mcollective/manifests/agent.pp:43 Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Mcollective::Agent/Service[mcollective] (notice): Dependency File[/usr/libexec/mcollective/mcollective/agent/package.rb] has failures: true Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Mcollective::Agent/Service[mcollective] (warning): Skipping because of failed dependencies Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Postfix::Server/File[/etc/postfix/main.cf] (err): Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///modules/postfix/etc/postfix/main.cf: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known at /etc/puppet/modules/postfix/manifests/server.pp:27 Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Postfix::Server/Service[postfix] (notice): Dependency File[/etc/postfix/main.cf] has failures: true Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 /Stage[main]/Postfix::Server/Service[postfix] (warning): Skipping because of failed dependencies Tue Mar 20 10:12:51 -0700 2012 Puppet (notice): Finished catalog run in 1.82 seconds Tue Mar 20 10:12:52 -0700 2012 Puppet (err): Could not send report: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Tue Mar 20 10:13:24 -0700 2012 Puppet (notice): Caught TERM; calling stop I'm rather confused. I tried putting autoflush = true in the [user] section of puppet.conf but it had no effect. I also don't know why those name service errors are occurring.
