2.0.4 partially fixes "hosts" problem.

[Martin A. Brooks]

Hi

Following an upgrade to 2.0.4, I can confirm that the "hosts" problem I 
found and previously reported no longer causes cfservd to crash - it does 
however, still cause problems.


On one client machine, if I edit /etc/hosts and add an entry like:

10.4.18.61   foobar

I then run  cfagent -v -q and  on the server  I see....

The server is trusting the client to convert the IP address of the client 
to a FQDN, where this is bogus, you will always get this error.
