Hi,

First why does the code:

bundle common global
{
    vars:
    any::
        "AUTHORIZED_IPS" slist => {"127.0.0.1", "192.168.0/24"};
}

body server control
{
    trustkeysfrom => @{global.AUTHORIZED_IPS};
    allowconnects => @{global.AUTHORIZED_IPS};
    maxconnections => "10";
    logallconnections => "true";
}

produces this error:

rhs is a scalar, but lhs (slist) is not list type, near token
'@{global.AUTHORIZED_IPS}'

I have to write it as

    trustkeysfrom => { @{global.AUTHORIZED_IPS} };

to get it working, which is a cumbersome syntax. Is this "normal", eg the
expected behavior? I think @{global.AUTHORIZED_IPS} should be enough for
cf-engine to recognize it is dealing with a list.

Second, the error message

rhs is a scalar, but lhs (slist) is not list type, near token
'@{global.AUTHORIZED_IPS}'

which comes from the

CheckConstraintTypeMatch() function in syntax.c, is obviously wrong,
it should read


rhs is a scalar, but lhs (slist) is not a scalar type.

Can someone fix this, as it is quite confusing?

Thanks.

Jean-Noel
