We mount /usr/local via NFS. Since we restrict writes as root to a small set of machines, neither symlinks nor file copy really work for us. I'm going to disable that section of failsafe.cf for now, but eventually I'll modify the failsafe.cf to only run that section if a user class, say _usr_local_no_root_squash, is defined. I actually get a perverse pleasure from symlinks in network mounted directories that point to locally mounted files so I'd be for that. I'm on an Ubuntu system, and I tested the package out and it untars into /usr/local/sbin, and I'm guessing then copies the files into /var/cfengine, so after the package is installed it all works out the same. In general do you recommend handling binary updates internally or externally to cfengine? It seems perfectly capable of updating itself, and that is my current intention. I plan to install the software once for each architecture (from source), and let each machine update itself. Thanks to you and Mark for your responses. -- J. E.
