Hello to All,

I've setup 5 centos hosts that all work fine but after signing my
debian client request I get


Certificate validation failed; consider using the certname
configuration option

on the debian client.  Never seen this error message before.  Several
times i've rm -rf /etc/puppet/ssl to force it to issue a new
certificate request, which the puppetmaster sees ans signs no
problem.  But that signed cert just dosen't work for the client.

/var/log/syslog on debian client.

Mar 28 00:43:49  puppetd[25663]: Certificate validation failed;
consider using the certname configuration option

this puppet was installed by : apt-get install puppet/experimental

how /etc/hosts has an entry

puppet_master_ip      puppet

however this is not the name that is in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf

server=FQDN_of_puppet_master

however my other centos clients have no problems with this.  Could
this be a nsswith.conf issue?  Both debian and centos have

host files dns

I dont want to change the

[puppetmasterd]
certname

as suggest in error message since that would break my other clients,
as I understand it.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks
