as I understand it certname is a puppetmasterd change. Doing so would break the existing dozen centos clients that are working fine. The client side
server=FQDN_of_puppet_master and the puppetmaster thinks its name is its FQDN now the puppet clients all have /etc/hosts entries for ip_of_puppetmaster puppet so that "puppet" can be used in the manifests to specify fileserver. Don't want to hardcode specific hostnames here in the manifests. Unfortunately I am in a hosted situation and do not control dns. Just /etc/hosts.
