RE: Solaris 2.6 cfexecd 2.1.13 problem

[ANDERSON RUSSELL D (ANDY)]

This is info on my cfengine build for solaris if it helps:
I can also send binaries if requested for testing.

I have never been able to reproduce this problem. I am seeing some odd
behaviour in cfenvd lately, but that's about it. I have not had a
cfservd of cfagent crash for a long long time.

I wish I knew what this was about.
