This
        "reg" string => "OpenSSH";
        "str" string => "SSH-OpenSSH-4.3
 newline"; # Continued from previous line

    classes:

        "port" expression => regcmp(".*${reg}.*","${str}");

Should match.  In my previous post the example die not match.  I suspect 
this is because of the new line.  Further I am not comfortable with having 
to prefix and append with '.*'.  This goes against regex convention.  For 
example:

[nwat...@unxxhd01 inputs]$ echo "SSH-OpenSSH-4.3
>  newline"|pcregrep "OpenSSH"
SSH-OpenSSH-4.3

[nwat...@unxxhd01 inputs]$ echo "SSH-OpenSSH-4.3
 newline"|grep "OpenSSH"
SSH-OpenSSH-4.3

[nwat...@unxxhd01 inputs]$ echo "SSH-OpenSSH-4.3
 newline"|sed  -n "/OpenSSH/p"
SSH-OpenSSH-4.3

[nwat...@unxxhd01 inputs]$ echo "SSH-OpenSSH-4.3
 newline"|perl -ne '/OpenSSH/ && print'
SSH-OpenSSH-4.3

In each case making the regex equal to "OpenSSH" is enough to get match. 
Cfengine seems to require '.*' before and after making it somewhere 
between a literal string and a regular expression.

Sincerely,
