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.
