Re: cfrun; Host authentication failed.

[Mark . Burgess]

Take a look at the checklist for upgrading at www.cfengine.org/docs
You need to specify "trustkey=true" and "TrustKeysFrom = ( )"
in the cfagent.conf anf cfservd.conf files respectively,

good luck!
Mark

PS - I worked quite hard to write some documentation for
this, so please look at it!!
