I'm going to sound a lot like Mark. Are you sure you have the same versions of the shared libraries on all the machines? Are you relatively current on you Sun patches? I have 80+ Solaris 8 machines and 40+ Solaris 9 machines, patched to within 3 months of current, and have no problem with cfexecd. I did have a SIGSEGV problem with cfenvd when sent a SIGTERM but I retro-fitted code from the snapshot into 2.1.15 and that went away.

Sut since cfengine uses threads, it can also be a reentrency bug or something more obscure. But it can be a compiler issue as well: -My first compile was with gcc 3.0, as that's what was installed on the system. It would throw a compiler error at cfenvgraph.c - My last compile was gcc 3.3.2, it compiles without problems, cfagent runs perfectly, but I have the segfault with cfexec. Can you tell me what's needed to compile cfengine? What packages/versions, etc. I can't believe I'm the only one who has these problems... Sorry if it has already been answered, but I spent days on Google, on the cfengine.org web site, on the cfwiki, and I haven't found anything on that topic.
