Hello In case someone else gets tripped up by this, when upgrading from 6.8.0-1 to 6.9.0-1 on Ubuntu 18 (and possibly other platforms) the sense of *strict_hostname_checking* changes. Previously it appears it was set to *false* by default.
This means that a node manifest like ... *node 'my-lovely-node' {* * stuff* *}* ... will work. But with the upgrade it changes to *true* meaning the above will not work (and chaos ensues). After the change, if you don't set strict_hostname_checking to false in puppet.conf for the Puppet master, you will need this ... *node 'my-lovely-node.mydomain.com' {* * stuff* *}* Not a biggy, but I wasted half an hour or so one Saturday morning because of this. Hopefully if someone reads this before upgrading they can save a similar minor irritation. Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
