Subject: Cfengine blew away my init.d folder

I wanted to deploy a new init.d script on my servers. It was a simple copy from
the master:
files:
"/etc/init.d/zasg"
perms => mog("755","root","root"),
copy_from => remote_cp("$(g.repo)/asg/zasg","$(g.phost)"),
action => if_elapsed("30");
However, once this ran I ended up with an empty /etc/init.d/ with only my new
file in it. It went unnoticed until some servers went down for reboot and
didn't come up again. Once the smoke cleared we noticed that cfengine had moved
/etc/init.d (which is a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ in RHEL 5) to
/etc/init.d.cfsaved and recreated the directory.
So does cfengine not like to copy files into a directory that is a symlink? Is
there a way to tell CFengine not to destroy symlinks so that I can avoid this
in the future?
Thanks.
