Gabriel, I use puppet to maintain files and services across a linux cluster with some 850 boxes. From time to time a box goes down and has to be re-imaged. We nuke /etc/puppet/ssl, and restart puppet with puppetd --waitforcert 60; sign the cert on the puppetmaster, and away we go.
We also use a sym-link for all the clients to get the same puppet config file, /usr/local/etc/puppet/ is essentially an nfs mount across the cluster. ~Charles~ On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 11:39 AM, Gabriel - IP Guys < gabr...@impactteachers.com> wrote: > Dear everyone! > > I’ve been suffering all week to fix all manner of SSL issues on my test > setup, not realizing that it was my puppet master where I had made a > mistake.
