Well, it'd at least have to reload the config, which means a new cf-promises pass, which takes "a while" while it converges the variables. :) I was excited about Nicolas's suggestion until I realized that the server process only looks for changes in the policy, not the filesystems pointed to by the policy, so new directories which were created for new hosts would not show up in the access list until the server process was reloaded and the policy was reevaluated. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
