Thanks Mark...
Can you go back in this thread and just take quick look at the filter problem I
had and let me know if I did the filter wrong, or if
filters just don't work for this one either?
I mean my email from 8/24 2:42PM PDT
The filter I was trying to use is this one here:
filters:
{ ignoredir
Type: "dir"
Result: "!Type"
}
copy:
any::
$(config_download_dir)/etc/
trustkey=true
filter=ignoredir
action=fix
dest=/etc/
r=0
mode=0644
owner=root
group=root
server=$(policy_host)
exclude=*
ignore=*
include=file.that.does.not.exist
type=checksum
Thank you,
MARK
