I've installed puppet on an Ubuntu 14.04 system.

It works fine when I use:

sudo puppet agent -t

But:

puppet agent -t

returns:

Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue:
Warning: SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read finished A

Error: /File[/home/rescue/.puppet/var/facts.d]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read finished A

I tried making puppet a super user with sudo usermod -aG sudo puppet but I still get the same results.

This answer is to some degree a work around.

The core problem I was having above was that when puppet would automatically run (to check into master) every 30 minutes it would always fail.

I stopped the service running on ubuntu and instead of using service puppet start I used sudo service puppet start.

As far as I know, puppet-agent needs to run using root privileges in open source version. You can read a little more here (for enterprise version): https://puppet.com/blog/new-support-for-non-root-agents-puppet-enterprise
