cfservd.conf : 'import' is not allowed.

- From the docs (Node: Cfservd and cfrun reference):

   You can use `groups' and `import' in both files to break up files
   into convenient modules and to import common resources, such as
   lists of groups.

   [....]

      import:
     
        FILES TO IMPORT

   [....]


My own cfservd.conf:

control:
   [....]

import:        <== This is line # 36 in cfservd.conf
   cf.groups

admit:
   [....]


When I run cfservd, I get the following error message.

# /usr/local/sbin/cfservd -f /var/cfengine/inputs/cfservd.conf
cf:linux131.powertrain.mpg.gm.com:/var/cfengine/inputs/cfservd.conf:36: This 
belongs in cfengine.conf 
linux131.powertrain.mpg.gm.com::Execution terminated after parsing due to 
errors in program


Running cfservd with '--debug' gives:

[....]

RIGHTBRACK
cf:linux131.powertrain.mpg.gm.com:/var/cfengine/inputs/cfservd.conf:36: This 
belongs in cfengine.conf 

   [BEGIN InstallPending Control Defintions:
   END InstallPending]


BEGIN NEW ACTION Import files:
HandleItem(cf.groups)
simple item = (cf.groups)
>>Installing item (cf.groups) in the import list
Appending [cf.groups]
   (No actions pending in Import files:)

[....]


If I check closely the output using '--debug', it seems that in fact
it imports 'cf.groups':

[....]

BEGIN NEW ACTION Groups:
HandleId(AllServers) in action Groups:
Done with HandleId()
LEFTBRACK
HandleItem(linux008)
simple item = (linux008)
Handling group item (linux008) in group (AllServers), type=0
No match of class

[....]

RIGHTBRACK
HandleId(noNIS) in action Groups:
Done with HandleId()
LEFTBRACK
HandleItem(linux115)
simple item = (linux115)
Handling group item (linux115) in group (noNIS), type=0
No match of class

[....]

and so on.


Also, I think it is just a typo in the error message, it refers to
'cfengine.conf' instead of 'cfagent.conf'.
