*sigh*. A simple service X stop && puppet agent -tv && service X start ought to do it. I shall fix it.

deployment-(mathoid|sca0[12]) have been fixed. I'm being denied access to deployment-cxserver03, though, for some strange reason, so can't complete the task. If you can log in, simply do sudo service cxserver stop && sudo puppet agent -tv and that'll fix it (Puppet will automatically start the service back up).

For deployment-cxserver03 I have filled T132626: deployment-cxserver03 refuses ssh connection (but reachable via salt)
