Quoting Chip Seraphine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
In 2.1.16, the FileExists() function does not work properly if passed
a string with a variable in it. This is because the HandleStatInfo
function passes an unexpanded string (which can contain a
$(variable)) to lstat.
I was able to make it work by passing lstat(2) the expanded values
generated by FunctionArgs() rather than the raw args value. This
change causes FileExists to work correctly with variables in its
argument list. (See attached patch, which is against current snashot
from the website).
Note that HandleStatInfo did not change between .15 and .16; the
change appears to be in what is set by FunctionArgs() (which was
largely rewritten). A proper bug fix should probably be in
FunctionArgs(), not what I have below-- this patch is a
demonstration. But since my C coding is mediocre at best, I'll leave
an analysis of FunctionArgs to the smart people.... :)

As an example of what I am talking about, the code below did not work
in 2.1.16 without this patch:
#File cf.file1
control:
path= ( /etc )
actionsequence= ( shellcommands )
shellcommands:
"/bin/echo here I am"
import:
cf.file2
#File cf.file2
groups:
passwdfile_exists= ( FileExists(${path}/passwd) )
control:
alerts:
foo|!foo::
"path is ${path}"
passwdfile_exists:: "Found it"
!passwdfile_exists:: "Did not find it"

After applying the attached patch, it worked fine.
