Package: cfengine2
Version: 2.2.8-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When parsing the admit: section of cfservd.conf, cfservd declares invalid a
declaration found within an undefined class if it contains more than one
hostmask (or a hostmask and another root= or encrypt= statement).
For instance:
=======================
control:
linux::
/etc/cfengine 10.0.1 10.0.2
=======================
works, but:
=======================
control:
!linux::
/etc/cfengine 10.0.1 10.0.2
=======================
says:
$ /usr/sbin/cfservd -p -f /tmp/cfservd.conf.2
cf:cfservd:/tmp/cfservd.conf.2:3: Missing absolute path to a directory
cfservd:/tmp/cfservd.conf.2:Cannot continue
According to the thread at
http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-cfeng...@cfengine.org/msg00594.html
this appeared somewhere between 2.2.3 and 2.2.5.
I can reproduce this on a lot of machines with Lenny, but the only older
cfengine I have access to is 2.1.20 (and it parses correctly both files).
If you require more information, I'll be happy to assist.
Meanwhile, a workaround that seems to work is making sure all the possibly
undefined classes (practically everything not equal to "any::") have the
declarations split into a list of "/path single-hostmask" or "/path
encrypt=true" pairs, for instance:
=======================
control:
!linux::
/etc/cfengine 10.0.1
/etc/cfengine 10.0.2
=======================
