Ok, I thought that whatever groups I had defined in cf.group would be
used.

Ok, now it works, but there is a little problem:

I tried :

# cfrun myhost -f /var/cfengine/inputs/cfrun.hosts -v --  -- syncMyDir
[....]
Connecting to server myhost.mydomain.com to port 0 with options 
[....]
Hello policyhost.mydomain.com (130.172.82.131), nothing relevant to do here...
[....]


It didn't do what I expected, which is to define the class "syncMyDir".


But if I run:

# cfrun myhost -f /var/cfengine/inputs/cfrun.hosts -v -- -DsyncMyDir  --   


Connecting to server myhost.mydomain.com to port 0 with options  -DsyncMyDir 

cfservd Executing /var/cfengine/bin/cfagent --no-splay --inform -DsyncMyDir 


It works.


Thanks for your help!
