Re: cf-agent floods logs with execv errors

a quick grep in the masterfiles showed two instances of a getent call...

root@nimvie: /var/cfengine/masterfiles # grep -r getent *
lib/paths.cf:      "path[getent]"        string => "/usr/bin/getent";
lib/vcs.cf:        string => execresult("$(paths.getent) passwd 
$(repo_uid)", noshell),

vcs.cf seemst to be the culprit...
