Which version of cfengine?

I submitted a bug fix for the network interface scanning code which 
made it into 2.1.0p1. I discovered the problem on an HP-UX machine 
whose only active interface was the last in its "netstat -in" output. 
Cfengine 2.0.7psomething wasn't seeing it.

You might do a "cfagent -v -p". If all the interfaces are listed in the 
defined classes then you're probably in good shape. Otherwise you're 
probably lucky...or unlucky depending on how you look at it.  :)
