Description

Hi, I’m using puppet 0.25.4 on OpenSuse 11.1.

Trying to run puppet as listening client only with “listen=true” and “client=false” options in puppet.conf doesn’t seem to work. After restarting puppet with the new configuration, first thing it does is polling the puppetmaster and afterwards every 30min.

But if I start puppetd with —no-client parameter it polls the puppetmaster only after being triggered by a puppetrun-command coming from the master.

Additionally, if the option works again, you should add it to the configuration reference because right now it isn’t mentioned.

My config: [puppetd]

    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
    server = puppet
    localconfig = $vardir/localconfigi
    httplog  = $logdir/http.log
    listen = true
    noop = false
    client = false
    puppetdlog = $logdir/puppetd.log
    puppetport = 8139
    pluginsync = true

I’m experiencing this same issue with CentOS 5, Puppet version 2.6.0. The workaround that I’ve found is to add “PUPPET_EXTRA_OPTS=—no-client” to /etc/sysconfig/puppet and restart the puppet agent.
