Re: Matt's patch

I was under the impression that sbin was the default installation for
cfengine-2.1.6 binaries, but checking both directories is a good idea.

>From the changelog (since version 1.4.3):
Binaries are now installed in sbin instead of bin.

I also have a patch to separate LOCKDIR and LOGDIR for WORKDIR. In my
opinion, it makes cfengine look a little tidier. Attached is the patch for
this which includes the other patch I have made.
