Fw: Has Anyone Used Cfengine With Dynamic IP Addresses?

[Rasheda M Menzies]

Mark, I noticed that 2.1.0b5
is current version.  This is the version available at cfengine.org.
 Does 2.1.0b5
have the save pub key using hostname option?

Thanks,
Rashedea

Is the hostname here the FQDN or just the first part?
