Bug #1190: Puppetd exits if it receives a bad certificate
http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/issues/show/1190

Author: init
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: jamtur01
Category: executables
Target version: 0.24.5
Complexity: Unknown
Patch: Insufficient


When starting puppetd in daemon mode, a bad certificate received from the 
puppet master causes the client to exit. This is (according to me) undesirable 
behavior. Why not just retry once in a while like when there is no signed 
client certificate on the master for this host? As of now, if the client is 
reinstalled without first removing the old puppet client certificate, the 
system administrator must then manually login to the client to restart the 
puppet daemon (after removing the old certificate).

In my opinion, a daemon should not exit unless in encounters a truly fatal 
error, and this error is not one of them. An example of a truly fatal error 
would be a missing dependency.

Unfortunately, I do not know Ruby (yet), so I cannot fix it.
