I'm trying to set cfengine to copy a file from one host to itself and I
keep getting the error " Server returned error:  Host authentication
failed. Did you forget the domain name". Which it seems is due to me not
having reverse mapping on my DNS server.

Now give that this is a very small home network and I don't particularly
want to have set up reverse mappings, is it possible to use cfengine
without a DNS server at all? I tried using /etc/hosts but that didn't
work.

I've also tried setting SkipVerify = ( <ip addr> ) on the server and
SkipIdentify = ( true ) on the client and still doesn't <insert swear
word of you choice> work!

Anyone? Please.
