By default, puppet will look for a server named 'puppet'.  If your
puppetmaster (aka puppet server) is named 'puppetmaster', you'd have
to change the puppet configuration to make it look for 'puppetmaster'.

I'd probably rename my puppetmaster instead of changing the puppet
confif, at least until you get a bit more familiar with puppet.
Though you do need to take care to re-create the puppetmaster
certificates if you rename the puppetmaster.

I've not seen those errors on my F-10 puppet installs.  I haven't
setup any F-11 puppet installs just yet.  I do think I saw a post on
the fedora-selinux-list about ifconfig denials, maybe there's a more
general problem there?
