We have several RedHat systems that were patched this weekend where puppetd is quietly going away. I''m still gathering info, but all 64-bit RH 5 systems I''ve checked are OK, the failing systems seem to be limited to 32 bit systems but both RH4 and 5. We don''t have many RH 4 systems left..

We aren''t trying to use LDAP with puppet as far as I know.
