Re: FreeBSD, cfengine 2.0.8p1 and multiple network cards don't work well together...

[Mark . Burgess]

There are patched in 2.0.8 that people have given me who have multiple
interfaces. Since I don't, it is difficult for me to comment.

There is a BindToInterface option in cfservd that allows you to
bind to one specific IP address, of your many interfaces.

If you have a solution, or patch files that have not bee integrated
into cfengine,then don't keep them to yourself!
