ah, okay, well that explains why the individual files don't get updated. I'll 
remove those from the server. 

I'll stay tuned on why cf_lastseen.db only gets updated every so often. 

Thanks!

Indeed, this is correct. The hostname files were never supposed to be
active for normal users. This was only for testing, as you could quickly
fill up a disk with these files.

/var/cfengine/cf_LastSeen.db.HOSTNAME* has been moved to a sub directory
and is switched off by default. Only the cf_lastseen.db is now used.
Note the change in capitalization.
