Re: AllowRedefinitionOf netmask

[Ed Brown]

We allow redefinition of several variables, including 'domain',
'broadcast', and 'sysadm', and don't see warnings when they are
redefined.  But parsing fails altogether when I try to redefine
netmask.  

cfengine: Multiple declaration of variable netmask
cfengine: Redefinition of basic system variable

Guess netmask is special, and I'll just have to make the initial
definition conditional.  :(

thanks,
Ed
