Hi,

weird indeed. What does puppetca --list --all give you?

The first wooden hammer you can swing is "move the cert away from the
master's ssl dir".

Another approach (albeit crooked) would be to try and find the privkey
for the cert that somehow made it to your master and use that for the
client. I don't think you'll find it, though.

Have you ever told puppet to sign any cert for that box? Is autosign
enabled per chance?

HTH,
Felix
