problem with hard class, really tricky

[Christophe Nowicki]

Hi cfengine users,

I've started to use cfengine for managing configuration files
of my vservers (http://linux-vserver.org/). I am running many vservers, 
about 30, on my network and cfengine seams to be the best solution for
managing them.

But I can't differentiate with classes one of them.

The name of this host is debian.
This host is running Debian GNU/Linux "sarge".
His FQDN is debian.mynetwork.lan.

I can't use the network interface to distinguish, this host because all
vservers are sharing the same network interface. (/sbin/ifconfig show
all the network interfaces).

When I run cfagent -p -v on the debian vservers, 
I get the fallowing Defined Classes :

When I run cfagent -p -v on another vserver, I get :

There is no difference between the debian vserver and the other
vservers :

$ diff host.classes.list debian.classes.list 
124d124
< host

The hard class os type "debian" is in conflict with the hostname.
Is it possible to prefix the os type hard classe with something like 
"system_" ?
system_debian, system_debian_3 and system_debian_3_1 etc ?

Or disable the hard classes?

It will avoid the name conflict ;0)

Best Regards,
