My fault. It doesn't work using a space separated list. You can use a comma separated list for FAI_FLAGS if you insert following line in task_setup() in file subroutines. This will be included to FAI 2.2.1 DNSDOMAIN=$DOMAIN # cfengine 1.5.3 can't use $DOMAIN > FAI_FLAGS=`echo $FAI_FLAGS | sed -e 's/,/ /g'` for flag in $FAI_FLAGS; do -- Thomas
