I think you may end up with a single copy statement that copies all of /etc, then a 5000 line long files section that looks like this:
/etc/passwd mode=644 owner=root action=fixall /etc/shadow mode=600 owner=root action=fixall /var/cfengine/checksum.db mode=600 owner=root action=fixall [...] If you have a variety of different owners and different modes, this might be the only approach to use. The only consolation I can give you is that you only have to do this once :-). -----Original Message----- From: Josh Lothian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 3:58 PM To: Luke Youngblood Cc: help-cfengine@gnu.org Subject: Re: cfengine and revision control The problem with this approach, at least at our site, is that there are (apparently) over 5000 unique filenames we're pushing out... 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
