It turned out that there was an update to the foreman package which completely broke Puppets ability to enroll new nodes.
Call me old fashioned, I've been a Debian sysadmin for over 10 years, but on a 'stable' system an apt-get upgrade is not supposed to break things. Thats one of the things Debian is famous for. Just so happens my server is running Ubuntu server 'long term support' version and I expected something similar there. I've spent some time now ripping Foreman out. Its too unreliable and I don't think the benefits outweigh the costs. Puppet *without* foreman is just fine. Bye bye, foreman, I'll hardly miss you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
