Ok good. Sounds like other people are doing this as well... > Yeah, I do something similar (although I store my master > files in /usr/etc/cfengine, as per cfengine-masterconf (cf. > http://arpmats.sourceforge.net/)). Had not heard of this before. Thanks for the links! Does it normally take 2-3 days for e-mail to show up on the list? After sleeping on this for a while, I just need some validation... update.conf - distributed by the policy master. Initially copied to a client machine manually. This file should only be sent out when there is an absolute need to update the basic distribution configuration. cfagent.conf - does all the necessary checking and associated configurations modifications as needed cfservd.conf - Used only for the policy master. But, I've seen references in the archives to people running the sfservd process on servers that are not policy masters. I have no need to run more than one policy master at this point, so do I need to run cfservd on a cfclient-only machine? Another question I have is when is it appropriate to run cfagent in daemon mode vs. crontab? I saw a post from Christian Pearce that he runs cfagent via crontab, distributed through the update.conf to add the entry via the Append line. That seems like a very good idea. I just can't find the darn post in the archives to test it out.
