Usually gets copied along with everything in else in inputs/, but doesn't get _changed_ very often. (If the syntax is bad here, it means manually copying again, or however you do your initial bootstrapping.) > cfagent.conf - does all the necessary checking and associated > configurations modifications as needed Yes.
