Where does it say this Phillip? We must have some unclear documentation. Puppet nodes normally find their master by name resolution, and in the vast majority of cases this is a DNS entry. You can configure this on the node with the "server" configuration parameter in puppet.conf The documentation around an /etc/hosts entry should be targeted at people who for whatever reason cannot use DNS. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
