I ran into a similar situation maybe this will help. I just starated rolling out new puppet and ruby packages on Solaris 10. Facter 1.5.7 (staying the same) ruby 1.8.6.? -> 1.8.7 p249 puppet 0.25.1 -> 0.25.4
My initial tests of upgrading an existing puppetmaster and a few nodes went fine. However when I add new nodes the cert exchange will not occur unless the master has a hosts entry for the client and the client has a hosts entry for the server (no network based name resolution available). However once the cert exchange is complete the master no longer needs the clients host entry. I attributed the error messages/situation to user error. My old puppet bootstrap script basically ran the following after an OS install via jumpstart. puppetd --server X.X.X.X --onetime --no-daemonize Then I would sign the cert and run the above command again. With new ruby and puppet i'm getting this error message. err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass My work around was to populate the hosts file with a puppet entry and remove the "--server X.X.X.X" flags from my boot strap script. Additionally I had to ensure the client node has an entry in the masters hosts file. I still assume this is something I've brought on myself with my lack of network name resolution. I'm just hoping the info helps the OP. Derek. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
