All of our (RHEL5) systems have their hostname set to their hostname (crazy!), but the Puppet client always generates certs based on the FQDN anyway.

The client is an RPM straight from EPEL. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
