No key files causes cfagent to segfault

[Adrian Phillips]

Just started to test b1. I've never used secure copying before so I
just did an upgrade to b1 then cfagent which segfaulted on me :-

address@hidden:root 562# CFINPUTS=/etc/cfengine cfagent
cfengine:freeze: Couldn't find a private key 
(/var/cfengine/ppkeys/localhost.priv) - use cfkey to get one
cfengine:freeze: open: No such file or directory
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The question is : why are keys needed if insecure copy's are to be
used ? Are keys obligatory now or is it just cfagent compiled with ssl
(which is what I have done as I've built cfengine as a general Debian
package) that needs keys ?

Sincerely,

Adrian Phillips
