In my kickstart I don't run cfengine directly, I copy a shell script
that will be executed next time the machine is rebooted (which is
immediately after doing the basic install).

Ok, enough background, the fact is that this script first "bootstraps"
cfengine by doing:

# Bootrstrapping cfengine
## Generate authentication keys
        /usr/local/sbin/cfkey
## Store public key from policy host (mypolicyhost)
        cat <<EOF_cfphkey > /var/cfengine/ppkeys/root-IP-FROM-POLICY-HOST.pub

EOF_cfphkey


Then I call cfagent in different ways (to enable specific classes):

e.g:
        /usr/local/sbin/cfagent -DinstallRPMs


and everything works fine.
