In that situation, if someone removes / changes a line from /usr/local/etc/smb.conf that originated from /var/cfengine/work/smb.conf, will cfe rebuild /usr/local/etc/smb.conf? If so, this is the solution I was looking for, as it guarantees the integrity of /usr/local/etc/smb.conf without making unnecessary changes to it.

Obviously the copy action is before the editfiles action. And this method may not work if you need your edits to be nested or in a specific order. copy: any:: # Samba configuration $(FileSource)/common/usr/local/etc/smb.conf dest=/var/cfengine/work/smb.conf server=$(FileServer) editfiles: any:: { /usr/local/etc/smb.conf AutoCreate EmptyEntireFilePlease InsertLine "hostname = $(host)" InsertFile "/var/cfengine/work/smb.conf" DefineClasses "newsamba" } _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
