Hi all, I am trying to get cfengine set up to run our computer labs here (Mac OS X shop), and I am having a problem with resource forks. In particular, the "copy" action does not recursively copy files with resource forks unless the forks are explicitly named. I would like to be able to synchronize large directories (say, /Applications), and it would be impractical to name every single file and resource fork in order to do so.
Searching the archives, I found this discussion from 2003: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-cfengine/2003-08/msg00045.html which is the source of the original patch with the extant support for resource forks. They were also discussing further improvements for automatic fork-handling on HFS+ and other filesystems, perhaps with a parameter to the copy action. I was wondering if this had ever gotten started, or if not, what suggestions people might have for how to implement my plan. Currently, I have an rsync script in the "shellcommands" action that uses a SSH shared key to programmatically log into a low-security user on the cfengine server. However, the rsync commands are not terminating properly, and the server runs out of resources and begins refusing connections after a few tens of client executions of the script. I can diagnose and fix this problem, I'm sure, but I thought that I would ask first if anybody had a better way. Thanks everybody for your time. Please CC: me any responses, as I am not subscribed to the list.
