My puppet master has manifests/nodes.pp which lists the client fqdn (matches the cert too) and it includes 'ntp' which is found in modules/ntp/manifests/ntp.pp (see my original e-mail) but it doesn't seem to happen no matter how many times I invoke the 'puppet agent command from the client system). The client system did however get a certificate from the server.
I guess no one will accuse you of not having up-to-date documentation and yes, I am using the 2.6.8 puppet gem on both systems (ubuntu dist was much older).
