Puppet users - Jul 2012 - is site.pp a must to have‏

Hi,
 
is site.pp a file must to have? I have set up a puppet server, but my 
following manifest just cannot apply to my client, the server itself.
 

# cat haitest.pp
file { ''/etc/motd'' : source =>
"puppet:///files/motd" ,}


Thanks.
 
Hai  T.

If you want help with that, show us the problem.

You can also set the PUPPETMASTER_MANIFEST variable in 
/etc/sysconfig/puppetmaster, if you''re running puppet via an RPM build,
to
change the site manifest from the default /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp to 
something else.

I ran into this as well.  I found that the puppetmaster will start without
a site.pp but, it does not build the catalog and actually apply anything.
So, I think that a site.pp file IS required.  It can be simple like:

import ''nodes.pp''
$puppetserver = ''somehost''
