Finally managed to figure out an issue, myself, and thought, I''d share... I''m going to try to take all of my posts, and your responses, within the next couple of weeks, and turn those into a document for the project. While I am still running into an issue with copying files from the puppetmaster fileserver, I do have the machine talking to itself as something other than localhost, which is certainly progress! I''ve set up the autosign.conf file, with *.valhalla (my test network, which has two machines: test_box.valhalla and freya.valhalla) 192.168.1.0/24 test_box is my puppetmaster, and, presumably, should not need to sign its own certificates; I appear to have screwed something up on that front. I''ve revoked and cleaned all the certificates on this box, and then moved the ca_crl file before re-starting puppetmasterd --no-daemonize --debug In a separate session, I ran puppetd --waitforcert 60 --server test_box --test It worked. puppetd --test then failed, as I had server=test_box.valhalla in puppet.conf I changed that to test_box, and puppetd--test worked. My thought is that the box presents itself as test_box, not as test_box.valhalla, since that is what its hostname is. I just confirmed this, by changing the entry in hostname, and having to subsequently change that in the puppet.conf file. So, I''m relatively OK with that, and think I understand what''s going on. Heaven forbid, I actually solved one of these myself! Next up will be trying to get freya (which is on a different subnet) talking to test_box, and pulling the changes over... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
