Just as I said if I have a choice of using tar file from the source I
will always favor it over rpms cooked in unknown environment.
I actually found the fix for the tar file method - the 'installation/
configuration' writeup on puppetlabs just miss setting ownership on /
etc/puppet and /var/lib/puppet.
The complete set of commands is (as root):
tar xzvf puppet-2.6.4.tar.gz
cd puppet-2.6.4
ruby install.rb
cd /etc/puppet
puppet --genconfig > puppet.conf
mkdir -p /etc/puppet/manifests
cd /etc/puppet/manifests
cat <<EOF > site.pp
# site.pp
file { "/etc/sudoers":
owner => root, group => root, mode => 440
}
EOF
puppetmasterd --mkusers
cd /var/lib/puppet
chown -R puppet:puppet .
cd /etc/puppet
chown -R puppet:puppet .
puppetmasterd
