That method guarantees the integrity of smb.conf to match the "source" copy at "$(FileSource)/common/usr/local/etc/smb.conf" no matter what was done to the local /usr/local/etc/smb.conf. Even if it was deleted, changed, etc. I believe cfengine also checks the "new" version against the "current" version and only makes changes if they differ. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Atom Powers > Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 9:23 AM > To: help-cfengine@gnu.org > Subject: Re: Copy+editfiles > > > On 8/24/05, Jason Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've got a 500 line file that should be the same on all my hosts, > > save > > > that one of the lines need to be customized to the hostname.
