Spoofing refers to attempts to masquerade as another host when sending
network transmissions. The cfservd program which can be used to
transfer files or activate cfengine remotely attempts to unmask such
attempts by performing double reverse lookups in the name service. This
verifies by a trusted server that the socket address and the host name
are really who they claim to be.
