 certname = hostname


please help me

The agent does not know the correct hostname of the master.  It is trying to look it up via the default name, 'puppet,' but the system's resolver does not find anything by that name.  Add a

    server = <puppet.master.fqdn>

to the [agent] section of your puppet.conf.
