Another way you could implement this is: Make sure your actionsequence has copy before files:
control: actionsequence = ( copy files ) copy: (copy entire /etc directory here) files: /etc owner=root,daemon mode=644 action=fixall On second thought, that might not help too much, because the files in /etc have a variety of owners and a variety of file modes. But, by putting the copy before the files section in actionsequence, you can ensure that the files will be copied and the modes fixed all in one cfagent pass.

I inherited this from someone else and we're still running Cfengine V1, etc... _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
