cfengine 2.1.11 released

[Mark . Burgess]

2.1.11

        SUPPORT FOR POSIX ACLS IN LINUX IS NOT AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS
        ORIGINALLY THOUGHT.  THE API DOES NOT MATCH EXISTING
        IMPLEMENTATIONS AND SEEMS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE COMPLEX. IN THE
        INTERESTS OF STABILITY THIS WILL HAVE TO BE DEFERRED TO A LATER
        RELEASE.

        Comma in function argument bug in FileExists etc, fixed
        
        Option -z (--schedule) now prints only the run schedule.  Option
        -Q (--query) added to print values of variables defined in
        configuration
         
          cfagent -Q sysadm,domain,site,ipaddress

        in format  varname=value

        New variables can be used in cfagent.conf for cfexecd control:
        
          EmailFrom = ( )
          EmailTo   = ( )  - overrides sysadm if set

        
        White Box linux class recognition added


        When setting classes or variables by function call, the function
        evaluation is no longer performed if it is not in an active class.
        
        Cfexecd now calls cfagent with -D from_cfexecd to define the class
        "from_cfexecd::" when run from the executor
        
        WarnIfFileMissing added to editfiles and default is not to warn
        of non-existent files, except in inform/verbose modes.
        
        Check added for DefineInGroup, signals error if not in group
        Added copy type "any" for any matching criteria, date/sum etc.

        Respository variable was not expanded like a normal variable
        
        cfshow tool added for consulting the databases

        Better autodetection of Berkeley DB in some distros of Linux (SuSE) - 
has anyone heard of "standards"?
        Date format changed in cfexecd output files
        Errors if remote copy is not encrypted when server demands encryption. 
(patch)
        
        Renaming of directories is now allowed if dest= is set specifically.
        
        Check added for variables defined in terms of undefined variables.
        
        Patch for solaris package manager added (Louis Erickson - 
wwonko@rdwarf.com)

        file added as synonym til reg in filter
        
        Patch to HostRange (item.c) (rader@ginseng.hep.wisc.edu)
        Internal variable determining WORKDIR for non-privileged users.

        Various minor changes and cosmetics.
        
        Lock string must include server name in copy - added
        Method reply bundles fixed to work correctly with ipv6 addresses

        SIGPIPE and SIGCHLD added to signal handler (SIGCHILD ignored against 
posix, but
        how the hell do you sort this out?)
        srand -> srand48 typo in cfenvd

        Multiple method reply variables were incorrectly separated.
        Added options to disable LastSeen data recording feature.

        fclose used instead of pclose when calling ifconfig - resulted in 
zombies
