Puppet users - Oct 2013 - New to Puppet, trying to get it workign with a FreeBSD agent

Hello,

I have been following through some of the documentation trying to make use 
of puppet in a test environment. I went ahead and tried to install 
puppet-passenger and puppet dashboard.

I think i have succesfully done this, because at mymaster.local:3000/ I get 
the dashboard webpage (albeit with no nodes or anything reporting)

and at https://mymaster.local:8140 I get a cert trying to be served to my 
browser. 

Are these good indicators of something at least working?

On my pupper master box, which is Ubuntu, here is what 
/etc/puppet/puppet.conf contains

[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
templatedir=$confdir/templates

[master]
# These are needed when the puppetmaster is run by passenger
# and can safely be removed if webrick is used.
reports = store, http
reporturl = http://mymaster.local:3000/reports/upload
ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN 
ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY

and in the master''s etc/hosts there is a reference to the agent, so it
can
ping it by name. 


and as of right now, i only have one FreeBSD puppet client. In it''s 
/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf

[agent]
server = mymaster
report = true
pluginsync = true

and its hosts file has mymaster, so I can ping it by name. 
However, on my agent, if i type

puppet agent -t

I get the following:
Error: Could not request certificate: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 
state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: (null)
Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert is disabled

I tried this with the -w option, and did "sudo puppet cert list" on
the
master, but i never saw anything show up.

What am I missing here? Can someone point me to some better documentation? 
It seemed like what I read was lacking a bit, especially for the agent 
setup in the FreeBSD box.

Thanks!
