Puppet users - Jul 2007 - puppetmasterd doesn''t work with puppet.conf

Hi everyone,
I am in the process of evaluating Puppet (version 0.23.0 - Solaris 10 
sparc), so I am still a newbie.
First tests with Puppet were fine since it was running with the default 
configuration.

Now, I have created a "puppet.conf" file ( puppetmasterd --genconfig
>
puppet.conf ) to customize some of the configuration parameters.
When "puppet.conf" is present, "puppetmasterd"
doesn''t start, it only
displays the content of the "puppet.conf" on the screen.
I must be missing something, but I cannot find any information about that.

Could anyone give me a hand on this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Regards,
Juan.

Huh, I hadn''t thought about this.  ''genconfig'' is a
configuration
parameter that causes the generation of a configuration and then  
exit.  However, the configuration you''ve generated has this parameter  
enabled.

If you edit that generated configuration and comment the ''genconfig =  
true'' line out (or set it to false) it should work.
