Morning chaps, From my understanding the puppet master must have a hostname of "puppet". Is this correct? I''d like to be able to call this box whatever I like. I think that I can do that within /etc/puppet/puppet.conf. -- John Maclean MSc (DIC) Enterprise Linux Systems Engineer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

You can name it whatever you like. ''puppet'' is the default. In your client''s puppet.conf files, add the line: server = puppetmaster_hostname under the [agent] section if running version 2.6 and [main] section if running version 0.25. It also doesn''t hurt to add this line to your puppetmaster''s puppet.conf file under the [master] (2.6) or [puppetmasterd] (0.25): certname = puppetmaster_hostname On Dec 8, 2010, at 4:13 AM, john maclean wrote:> Morning chaps, > > From my understanding the puppet master must have a hostname of > "puppet".

It saves me a lot headaches both in puppet and the rest of my infrastructure. Evan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
