I can run $ lsb-release -a on the servers in question and it returns the information I expect. When I use the @lsbdistdescription the local puppet daemon does not acknowledge the field. That line simply gets the architecture. With the @ there is nothing to report when I look in foreman, when I remove the @ I get the error again.
Here is the output from the commands: $ lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-ia32:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-ia32:printing-4.0-noarch Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseServer Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.10 (Tikanga) Release: 5.10 Codename: Tikanga $ facter lsbdistdescription Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.10 (Tikanga) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
