OK...

I started seeing some issues with the certificates between my clients and the puppetmaster. So I went ahead and removed puppet from the clients and cleaned up /var/lib/puppet and /etc/puppet. Then I reinstalled puppet, signed the new cert and things seemed to go OK after that.

Then the shocker the second run started to fail and i have this message:

[r...@atlcnag0 ~]# puppetd --test
err: Could not request certificate: Retrieved certificate does not match private key; please remove certificate from server and regenerate it with the current key
Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert is disabled
[r...@atlcnag0 ~]# puppetd --test --waitforcert 5
err: Could not request certificate: Retrieved certificate does not match private key; please remove certificate from server and regenerate it with the current key
notice: Run of Puppet configuration client already in progress; skipping


Now... the one thing I can think of that might contribute to this could be the fact of how I set up my systems. This is going to take some explaining:

the hostname (in this case) for the cilent is atlcnag0. It's DNS entry (for its main interface) is atlcnag0-eth0 and there is a CNAME pointing back to its hostname (later there may well be more than one IP address associated with that name) which I didn't think should cause problems, but maybe it is.

Any thoughts?
