(Set of 15 machines, all RHEL 5.6, all cfengine community 3.1.4)

>From time to time (every few days or so) the main cfengine server throws out 
>sets of three error messages:

Dec 15 03:10:30 <1.3> srv-host cf-serverd[26325]:  Private decrypt failed = 
padding check failed
Dec 15 03:10:30 <1.3> srv-host community>[14994]:  BAD: Unspecified server 
refusal (see verbose server output)
Dec 15 03:10:30 <1.3> srv-host community>[14994]:   !! Authentication dialogue 
with iii.jjj.kkk.lll failed


(I've obfuscated the server name and IP number above.)

This starts seemingly at random, continues for a few minutes, then goes away.

Any ideas?  Is this a known problem?  Fixed in later releases?

Although we have a fair amount of local detail in our cfengine configuration, 
the overall set-up (including the usual 5-minute crontab "cf-execd") are as per 
the RPM downloaded from the cfengine website.
