Host authentication failed in using cfrun to invoke cfengine!

[Guilan Kong]

Hello,everyone!

       I have installed cfengine-2.0.6 on two machines with Linux os ( one host is "orchis" the other is "opennms-server" ) in one subnet. Now i want to copy one file from orchis to opennms-server. So i use cfrun.hosts to configure cfrun daemon to invoke remote cfengine on opennms-server.

      Because these two machines arein the same subnet, there is no DNS server in the subnet, and there is no domain in the subnet.

      But i use domain name "bise.com "  in each config file. And i define "orchis.bise.com orchis" and "opennms-server.bise.com opennms-server" to the corresponding ip addresses in /etc/hosts files on both hosts. 

      But when i run "cfrun -v" on "orchis" host,there is a problem as the following:

    

      [root@orchis root]# cfrun -v
Domain name = bise.com
