Only works with full path to cfengine.conf

[Tero Karvinen]

Cfengine does not work without full path when using sudo. This is contrary to what 'man cfagent' says. Also, the error message is misleading.

To reproduce
1) $ sudo apt-get install cfengine2
2) $ nano cfengine.conf
control:
        actionsequence = ( files )
files:
        /tmp/sample mode=000 action=fixall
3) $ sudo cfagent -f cfengine.conf

What happens:
cfengine:::0: Warning: actionsequence is empty
cfengine:::0: Warning: perhaps cfagent.conf/update.conf have not yet been set up?

What should have happened:
1) It should work without full path. According to manpage, it should even work without filename if cfengine.conf is in the same directory.
2) It should give a better error message: "File /root/cfengine.conf not found. Use -f to give full path to cfengine.conf"

Bypass:
 $ sudo cfagent -f $(pwd)/cfengine.conf
