'linktype=copy' fails

[Enrico Scholz]

Hello,

there seem to be problems with 'linktype=copy'. When having a
'cfagent.conf' like

| control:
|         actionsequence  = ( copy )
| copy:
|         /home/ensc/tmp/cf/data/foo/link         dest=/tmp/link server=kosh
|                                                 linktype=copy

and a directory layout like

| /home/ensc/tmp/cf/data/
| |-- bar
| |   `-- termcap
| `-- foo
|     `-- link -> ../bar/termcap

(.../bar/termcap is the 800KiB sized copy of /etc/termcap), 'cfagent'
runs seems to succeed with:

| address@hidden cf]$ CFINPUTS=`pwd` /usr/sbin/cfagent -b  -qKI
| cfengine:kosh: Update of image /tmp/link from master 
/home/ensc/tmp/cf/data/foo/link on kosh
| cfengine:kosh: Object /tmp/link had permission 600, changed it to 777
| address@hidden cf]$ 

but the 'cfservd -Fvvvvv' server reports

| cfservd: Host kosh.bigo.ensc.de granted access to 
/home/ensc/tmp/cf/data/foo/link
| cfservd: Host kosh.bigo.ensc.de granted access to 
/home/ensc/tmp/cf/data/foo/link
| cfservd: Couldn't send
| cfservd: send
| cfservd: Send failed in GetFile
| cfservd: send

and the result is a very short and corrupted file:

| address@hidden cf]$ ls -l /tmp/link data/bar/termcap 
| -rwxrwxrwx 1 ensc ensc     14  3. Mär 12:57 /tmp/link
| -rw-r--r-- 1 ensc ensc 807103  3. Mär 12:02 data/bar/termcap
| address@hidden cf]$ cat /tmp/link
| ######## address@hidden cf]$


I am using cfengine-2.1.22 from Fedora Extras 6.
