Puppet is misconfigured under some disros to do bad stuff before it gets its 
first certificate.  Do these machines have a certificate?  Also, you are 
talking about the client right?

Some people run the client with cron and tell it do do a single run and then 
quit.  That should solve this problem if you are talking about the client.  (If 
the client has a certificate)
