Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.5-2
Severity: normal
puppetd accepts a "timeout" argument (-w), that instructs the daemon to wait
for a specified amount of time before re-requesting a certificate from the
puppet master. The parameter's value in /etc/default/puppet is set to 0, which
causes puppet to request a signed certificate from the puppet server infinitely
often, using 100% CPU time on the managed box and filling its log files with
failure entries until it receives a signed certificate. This parameter should
be set to something more reasonable (e.g. 5 seconds), to avoid resource abuse
on the managed hosts.

Hello,
This is a very old bug, and I'll close it. The default in the packages,
since as far back as I can remember, is not to wait for the certificate
at all.
The package setting was removed, after a bit of digging, changed to "do
whatever puppet default is" in 0.24.8-2.
