I've seen mention of this error in several places, with different causes. So before I posted here, I attempted to resolve this on my own.
I corrected the change from puppet:///files to puppet:/// in my manifests *.pp files. No changes were made to the auth.conf file, and I did note in the ChangeLog that: Auth.conf differentiates between names and IPs – There’s a new allow_ip keyword > in auth.conf if you want to permit IP addresses. (PR991) But I see no mention of that on the docs page at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_auth_conf.html. Our auth.conf is simple, and basically has either "allow $1" or "allow *" both which appear to still be valid in 3.0. Here's an example, a simple example, an ntp.conf file: class ntp-client { file { "/etc/ntp.conf": owner => root, group => root, mode => 644, source => "puppet:///etc/ntp.conf", require => [ Package["ntp"] ], notify => Service["ntpd"], } package { "ntp": ensure => latest, } service { "ntpd": ensure => running, hasrestart => true, subscribe => File["/etc/ntp.conf"], } } # ntp-client The error I'm seeing in the puppet.log, on the client system: Oct 1 20:02:28 test-fms puppet-agent[11062]: Starting Puppet client > version 2.7.17 > Oct 1 20:02:31 test-fms puppet-agent[11062]: > (/Stage[main]/Ntp-client/File[/etc/ntp.conf]) Could not evaluate: Error 400 > on SERVER: Not authorized to call find on /file_metadata/etc/ntp.conf Could > not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///etc/ntp.conf: Error 400 on SERVER: > Not authorized to call find on /file_metadata/etc/ntp.conf at > /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/ntp-client.pp:10 The permissions from /etc/puppet/files are correct: -rw-r--r--. 1 puppet puppet 446 Mar 31 2011 etc/ntp.conf The client puppet.conf file doesn't have any custom references other than the basics.

Reading through the issue at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16667, I'm not clear what the fix actually is. But, our config has been unaltered. We have unused modules in the /etc/puppet/modules directory, where most of the little stuff has been in /etc/puppet/manifests, referenced in site.pp by: import "classes/*" > import "nodes.pp" And it's worked thus far. In the example above, with ntp-client, it's just a simple little ntp-client.pp file that references a file that should be transfered, nothing more. So I don't see how or why that wouldn't work as-is. The error above: Error: Error parsing fileserver configuration: wrong number of arguments (3 > for 1); using old configuration Doesn't make any sense to me, as our config seems to be in line with the docs: The fileserver.conf file is pretty simple: [files] > path /etc/puppet/files > allow 10.101.0.0/24 > allow 10.103.0.0/24 In the log above, clearly the connection is authorized. Info: mount[files]: allowing 10.101.0.0/24 access I'm not sure of the reference to the error "Warning: Host is missing hostname and/or domain" as it's clearly a FQHN (yes, I edited it here). So I'm pretty stumped here. Our only other option is to just downgrade back to 2.7.x and wait for these issues to get worked out. Any pointers would be appreciated.
