How To Start Puppet

I just installed puppet, meaning

puppet.noarch                 0.24.8-1.fc11
puppet-server.noarch       0.24.8-1.fc11

On Fedora 11 x86_64.

I then began following instructions at this website: 
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/SimplestPuppetInstallRecipe


and I'm now at "Step Three: start the Puppetmaster".

For a Fedora installation, can I just do:

su -c 'service puppetmasterd start'

instead of

sudo puppetmasterd --mkusers

(as described on the web page)? When I check 'man puppetmasterd' I don't see 'mkusers' listed as an option.

Thanks
