Yes the problem is fixed in version 2.0.2. I think the problem was in 
calculating size of struct ifreq in freebsd which got fixed by following 
piece of code in nameinfo.c


/* FreeBSD has size macro defined as ifreq is variable size */
#ifdef _SIZEOF_ADDR_IFREQ
#define SIZEOF_IFREQ(x) _SIZEOF_ADDR_IFREQ(x)
#else
#define SIZEOF_IFREQ(x) sizeof(struct ifreq)
#endif


Should I apply a suitable patch to cfengine-1.6.3, as I am not ready to 
go to version 2.0.2 yet as it seems a lot has changed between 1.6.3 and 
version 2.

Thanks,

rajeev
