I've got an error from the bcfg2 client regarding an error that people did have here and reproducing it give out this error against trunk. This error was reproduced by putting an different hostname in the A-record of the dns server or putting a double entry in the dns server.

[email protected]:~# bcfg2 -kevq
no server x509 fingerprint; no server verification performed!
Unknown failure

Server Failure

This error is a bit confusing, so i suggest that we put a notice to look to the syslog of the server so that the user can see the other error attached to it.

I've made a little patch suggesting solution to the user so he can resolved the error.

Bcfg2 client has no mechanism to prevent 2 client doing an update at the same time. Or to prevent use of client when agent is doing an update of the config.

If you build up a profile with some groups that are catogarized, if the same category show up more than one time, only the last category/Group is considered and the other is lost. An alert should show up about this issue because the sysadmin would not realize his error much too late.

An alert should show up in the log and an alert should be in the statistics.
