Plugins message is (IIRC) a red herring. Does it have a node entry? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I hate this bug. This is actually just cosmetic. There are two easy ways to fix it. 1) Set puginsync to false on every client. (Using puppet) 2) Setup an plugin folder. I recommend just using 1 for now, and dealing with it later since it''s just a cosmetic bug until you try to use plugins. Also, here''s a bit more advice that is "common knowledge" here in the list, but isn''t well documented. Basically, 0.24.5 is very old, slow and a little buggy. Mostly the problem is that it scales very badly. If you plan to jump to Lucid when it comes out, I wouldn''t worry. 0.24.5 is ok for getting started. It''s later that you''ll have problems. Most of those problems will go away once you switch to 0.25.4. Scaling problems means that your server will probably fail when it gets more than 5-20 clients. If you''re not willing to upgrade the server (and clients) then you''ll probably want to uninstall the puppet package and install from source. When ever you upgrade puppet a major version, the server must always be upgraded first. Also, the "File" resource doesn''t work well with big files (over 50kb-500kb) or recursively managed directories with lots of files. The recommended way to get around this is by using packages to deploy files, exec+rsync, exec+wget, or exec+nfs+cp.
