Ok, this is plain nuts. I do not have any problems with my Linux boxes,
but these MACS are not cooperating.
I brought a brand new Mac in the lab. I installed cf-2.1.16a on the
Mac.
I was able to copy a file just once to the client. Then I begin to get
SIGPIPE errors. Also this copy action only works if I do not specify
the name of the machine as a class.
In other words:
control:
actionsequence = ( copy )
mymasterfiles = ( /var/masterfiles/filestocopy )
copy:
$(mymasterfiles)/filename
dest=/tmp/filename
server=192.168.1.10
This copies the filename file one time. Subsequently it fails with
signal 13 (SIGPIPE) errors.
-----------------------------------------------------------
control:
actionsequence = ( copy )
mymasterfiles = ( /var/masterfiles/filestocopy )
copy:
thenameofthemachine::
$(mymasterfiles)/filename
dest=/tmp/filename
server=192.168.1.10
This fails with Image loop: file/dir copies itself......
-----------------------------------------------------------
Forward and reverse DNS queries resolve correctly.

Well these are quite difference messages. permission denied comes from
cfservd, while image loop comes from the agent.
The agent believe you are trying to copy a file to itself (on the same
host). Is there are problem with name resolution?
The server apparently responds however. From which host?
It is impossible for diagnose without more info.
