General
- Retrieve the client configuration from the central puppet server and apply it to the local host. Currently must be run out periodically, using cron or something similar.
- This is the main puppet client. Its job is to retrieve the local machine's configuration from a remote server and apply it. In order to successfully communicate with the remote server, the client must have a certificate signed by a certificate authority that the server trusts
- Once the client has a signed certificate, it will retrieve its configuration and apply it.
- Used by netadmins to set up nfs mounts - which sometimes causes trouble with yum and "stale nfs mounts"
