This is off the Bermuda Triangle,  where 16+ ships washed up on a sand bar. The mystery is still unsolved

Actually the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has been given a scientific explanation: methane vents which have been discovered in that region. 
Methane reduces the density of water, causing ships that would normally float, to instead sink.
Methane, when in gas form, messes with the electrical components of aircraft, causing them to fail and sometimes fall right out of the sky.
Methane also causes the water to turn a ghostly greenish color, and the “ghost ships” reported to be seen are simply green reflections of the ships that scatter the bottom of the triangle.

Fucking science, man.

Setting up Puppet

Note for self

Yum install puppetd puppet-master

sudo /usr/sbin/puppetmasterd —no-daemonize —verbose —debug

run

sudo puppetca –-list –all to ensure

no client certificated have to auth already

if yes pick each one and do

sudo puppetca –-clean <hostname>

set your machine hostname

now in

/etc/puppet/puppet.conf set

[master]

[main]

    dns_alt_names = puppet.server.net

    report = true

    pluginsync = true

    server = puppet.server.net

    # The Puppet log directory.

    # The default value is ‘$vardir/log’.

And restart puppetmaster sudo /etc/init.d/puppetmaster restart

And run

sudo puppetd —waitforcert 60 –test –server=puppet.server.net

you will see

warning: peer certificate won’t be verified in this SSL session

from server run

sudo puppetca —list –all

and manually sign

sudo puppet cert —sign prod.cucumbertown.com

run

sudo puppetd —waitforcert 60 –test –server=puppet.server.net

 again

test

sudo /usr/sbin/puppetmasterd —no-daemonize —verbose —debug

sudo puppetd —test —server=puppet.cucumbertown.net

ensure puppet is not running as a daemon

To test this is also fine

sudo puppet apply —noop /etc/puppet/modules/sudo/tests/init.pp
