I have installed puppet 3.3.1 on a debian 7 machine (test-puppet-master) and the puppet agent on another debian 7 machine (test-puppet-agent/192.11.80.246) acting as a client. I start the master with:

puppet master --verbose --no-daemonize

And I start the agent with:

puppet agent --server=test-puppet-master --no-daemonize --verbose
Notice: Did not receive certificate

which gives the following output on the master:

Notice: Starting Puppet master version 3.3.1

Any ideas why the agent cannot connect?
