Greetings,
I have this issue where an old key keeps creeping back into the lastseen
database and I don't know how. I have a small program that dumps the lastseen
database. I get this output (x.yy.zz.mm is the ip of the host in question):
key:-MD5=34d99abb937c81eed2c2af6dcc12c553 value:X.YY.ZZ.MM
key:-MD5=87ff187c8829701671b11bc52b706cea value:X.YY.ZZ.MM
I have another program that I use to purge the key from the lastseen database.
I remove it and it comes back after some time. Running cf-report show the same
information:
IP - MD5=34d99abb937c81eed2c2a somehost.com X.YY.ZZ.MM @ not
seen for (3.36) hrs, Av 0.00 +/- 0.00 hrs
IP - MD5=87ff187c8829701671b11 somehost.com X.YY.ZZ.MM @ not
seen for (0.62) hrs, Av 0.00 +/- 0.00 hrs
It shows 3.36 hours, but I have seen it show 22 hours and other times as well.
I purge the bad key, then I can connect back to the host fine, but a few hours
later, it is back.
I tried everything, removing the lastseen database altogether, generating new
key, change versions of cfengine from 3.0.3 all the way up to the lastest, but
the invalid one never goes away. The bad key will be sent when trying to
contact the host, so I have to mess with it daily to get it to work since I
can't figure out what is going on.
cf-key shows the same info:
X.YY.ZZ.MM somehost.com MD5=34d99abb937c81eed2c2a
X.YY.ZZ.MM somehost.com MD5=87ff187c8829701671b11
I am using Berkely DB-5 if that makes a difference. I am at my wits end trying
to figure this one out. If anyone has some suggestions, please let me know.
Matt
