I have a very basic question regarding to Puppet 3.0.1 configuration.

I setup a puppet master server (CentOS) with 2 agents (CentOS and Windows 7), all 3 can ping and access each other. There is no error at all.

I have copied a file under /etc/puppet/files/test2.txt

my site.pp (/etc/puppet/manifests) contains these lines:

node default { include test

file { "/tmp/testmaster.txt":
  owner => root,
  group => root,
  mode => 644,
  source => "puppet:///files/test2.txt"
}

}

but there will no file be created on agent servers under /tmp/ once I run "puppet agent --test"

here is the output:

[root@agent1 ~]# puppet agent --test
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Caching catalog for agent1.mydomain.com
Info: Applying configuration version '1354267916'
Finished catalog run in 0.02 seconds

"puppet apply /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp" creates the testmaster.txt under /tmp/ on master.
