I'm trying to setup a basic puppet agent/master use-case with an agent server and a master. I've setup two servers with puppet and puppet master respectively.
After the following setup of both servers:
puppet master --no-daemonize --verbose
puppet agent --test
puppet cert --list to get the list,
puppet cert --sign <certname> to sign it.
puppet agent --test
I get the message:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: hostname was not match with the server certificate
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
err: Could not send report: hostname was not match with the server certificate
What do I need to do in order to get the agent/master to be able to talk to each other?

Make sure your client can resolve "puppet". Forward and reverse DNS entries are important. As a quick test, add an entry to
/etc/hostswith your puppet master's IP and name and try again.
