Re: list item concatenation

[Lev Lvovsky]

so I think I've excluded the package from being the culprit in this, as 
three different RPMs exhibit the same issue.

I think that problem is that it's not splitting the list at the ":".  
The source shows that ":" is the default char to split on, but even 
defining it in the cfservd.conf has no effect.  The behavior of cfservd 
however, is that it seems to be ignoring the ":" as a special 
character.

The following two configurations net the same results:

------
admit:

  ops_distro::
    /tmp/test tsthvy1-db1.domain.com:tsthvy1-db2.domain.com
------

control:

  ...
  list = ( tsthvy1-db1.domain.com:tsthvy1-db2.domain.com )

admit:

  ops_distro::
    /tmp/test $(list)
------

which is the following:

cfservd: Mixture of IPv6 and IPv4 addresses: 
tsthvy1-db1.domain.com:tsthvy1-db2.domain.com

I've gone so far as to setup a local DNS server on the cfservd box in 
order to get rid of the dashes, but the same issue comes up.

If there's anyone willing to do something specifically similar to the 
admit thing that I'm doing, and send me the output, I would be 
grateful.  I'm sure it's just something small that I'm missing.

Thanks!!!
