Hi,

I am trying to configure our automatic linux install system (Fully Automated 
Install or FAI) to do a mimimal  debian linux install and then to run 
cfengine to install all of the config files and additional packages. I 
already have cfengine to do stuff like copying a ntp.conf file to the linux 
client and install the ntp package. This all works  as intended stand-alone. 
I mean that I can make a change to the ntp.conf file on the server and all 
the cfengine clients automatically download it.

I have a couple  of problems the biggest is that I don't know how to get the 
cfengine server to know that when I'm doing a reinstall, it has to accept a 
new key. When I run cfagent on the new install, it generates an error 
message that says the keys don't match. If I delete the key from the server, 
it works. I guess I'm asking how to break the security on cfagent just for 
reinstalls.

The second problem is that only some of the packages get installed when I 
run cfagent on the client. If I run it 3 or 4 times, eventually, they all 
get installed. Perhaps this is an apt system question but I was hoping 
someone on this list had dealt with this problem before.
