Yet I cannot run a "puppet agent --test" on the same machine.
Any ideas?
Below is the error:
root@puptmaster:~/manifests]#
[root@puptmaster:~/manifests]#puppet agent -t
info: Caching catalog for puppeta
err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter mode failed on
File[/var/lib/puppet/reports]: The file mode specification is invalid:
"488"
[root@puptmaster:~/manifests]#
Has anyone seen this kind of error before?

Someone is confused here, without a look at your manifest (or configs) it''s hard to say.

The diagnostic further identifies a particular file (directory) involved: /var/lib/puppet/reports. Presumably, you are not directly attempting to manage this file, but the agent uses the same machinery to manage its internal runtime requirements as it does to manage the resources you directly assign to nodes. It is attempting to set up the area in which it will (may) write a report of its activity to submit to the master. That does not happen when you run "puppet apply". The specific error message "mode specification is invalid" is probably a bit misleading. It likely means that the agent attempted to set the listed mode (488 decimal = 0750 octal) on that directory, but failed. In all likelihood that results from a permissions problem: either the agent is not running as root (which it must do for most purposes), or some manner of access control that can affect root is in play (e.g. SELinux in enforcing mode or permission limitations inherent in the file system). Make sure to run the agent as root, and in the correct security context if you are enforcing SELinux policy. If applicable, ensure that /var/lib/puppet and all files and directories within bear the correct SELinux labels. Alternatively, change SELinux to permissive mode (or disable it altogether) if you don''t care about it.
