Re: Authentication does not all ways work cfengine 2.0.6

[David J. Bianco]

I've had this problem occassionaly.  Most of the time, it was because
the server timed out while attempting a DNS reverse-lookup for the
client's IP address.  It seems to be because I have a large number
of clients connecting over a fairly short interval.
