the following sample config produces some very
unexpected and dangerous behavior:
groups:
testclass_1 = ( any )
testclass = ( any -linux )
one would expect that this configuration would only
set class 'testclass_1' on linux machines. But the
exact opposite is true, under the current
implementation of the '-' syntax, 'testclass_1' does
_not_ get set on linux machines, but instead
'testclass' gets set.
To be more specific, when cfengine parses the config
for linux machines, first 'testclass_1' gets
activated, then 'testclass' gets activated and finally
'testclass_1' gets deactivated as cfengine simply
deletes the first class it finds that starts with the
string 'testclass' rather than matching the class
string exactly.
We are running 2.1.21
Has this been fixed in later releases?
FIX:
replace all occurrences of 'DeleteItemStarting' with
'DeleteItemLiteral' in convinstall.c and install.c
