In my experience, for small "stateless" files like /etc/hosts, you can
get away with EditFiles statements. For larger files, I would just copy
them from your cfengine server.
Other ways are to
a) copy a template from the server,
edit it to replace variables,
copy to final destination.
The last copy is only needed if you either
- need the file to always be consistent or
- need to take some action _only_ if the file actually changed.
or
b) copy some individual files from the server,
concatenate them
Copying the configuration files from a server also forces you to
standardize on one (or a few) configurations, which IMHO is really helpful.
Right. But that should be a side effect of using cfengine anyhow.
