[Puppet-users] puppet on fedora 8...

[Ben]

i thought i would run up a fedora 8 installation and take a look around, 
my default kickstart installation includes puppet which shouldn't be a 
problem however the puppet client fails with

    Certificates were not trusted: hostname was not match with the
    server certificate

The cause is obvious, the hostname of my puppetmaster is 
'puppet1.mydomain.com' and clients access it via a DNS cname, 
'puppet.mydomain.com'.  So the certificate cannot be verified as the 
names do not match.

The solution is not obvious, all other non-fedora 8 clients access the 
puppetmaster via the same cname and do not report this problem.  If i 
pass '--server puppet1.mydomain.com' to puppetd it works but that is not 
what i want.

Any ideas why f8 is being a pain?

puppet-0.23.2-1.fc8
ruby-1.8.6.111-1.fc8
facter-1.3.8-1.fc8
openssl-0.9.8b-17.fc8
