.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
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
+machine\(aqs 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;
the recommended method for this, at the moment, is to run a certificate
authority as part of the puppet server (which is the default). The
client will connect and request a signed certificate, and will continue
connecting until it receives one.
-
+.sp
Once the client has a signed certificate, it will retrieve its
configuration and apply it.

.SH USAGE NOTES
+.sp
+puppetd+ does its best to find a compromise between interactive use and
daemon use. Run with no arguments and no configuration, it will go into
the backgroun, attempt to get a signed certificate, and retrieve and
apply its configuration every 30 minutes.
-
+.sp
Some flags are meant specifically for interactive use \-\- in particular,
+test+ and +tags+ are useful. +test+ enables verbose logging, causes the
-daemon to stay in the foreground, exits if the server\'s configuration is

+daemon to stay in the foreground, exits if the server\(aqs configuration is
+invalid (this happens if, for instance, you\(aqve left a syntax error on
the server), and exits after running the configuration once (rather than
hanging around as a long\-running process).

+tags+ allows you to specify what portions of a configuration you want
to apply. Puppet elements are tagged with all of the class or definition
names that contain them, and you can use the +tags+ flag to specify one

.SH USAGE NOTES
+.sp
+puppetrun+ is useless unless +puppetd+ is listening. See its
documentation for more information, but the gist is that you must enable
+listen+ on the +puppetd+ daemon, either using +\-\-listen+ on the command
-line or adding \'listen: true\' in its config file. In addition, you need
+line or adding \(aqlisten: true\(aq in its config file. In addition, you need
to set the daemons up to specifically allow connections by creating the
-+namespaceauth+ file, normally at \'/etc/puppet/namespaceauth.conf\'. This
++namespaceauth+ file, normally at \(aq/etc/puppet/namespaceauth.conf\(aq. This
file specifies who has access to each namespace; if you create the file
you must add every namespace you want any Puppet daemon to allow \-\- it
is currently global to all Puppet daemons.
