Thank you!

With a configuration file like the following, the default route is still 
not set.  Are more variables needed?

-=-=- begin -=-=-
control:
        actionsequence = ( netconfig )
        netmask = ( 255.255.254.0 )
  # just because cfengine wasn't detecting the right interface:
  freebsd::
        InterfaceName = ( fxp0 )
  linux::
        InterfaceName = ( eth1 )

defaultroute:
        10.40.251.254

broadcast:
        ones
=-=-=  end  =-=-=

FreeBSD complains:
[...]
Assumed interface name: fxp0 255.255.254.0 one
Checking interface status...
Looking at default route...
cfengine::/var/cfengine/inputs/cfagent.conf:Software error: set default 
route


Red Hat Workstation 3 silently ignores the failure:
[...]

Thank you very much!
