That will depend on your exact need. Myself, because I dont really care too much within the internal network I just email into a specific account and let a script put the information in a database. Of course one could filter the headers against a list of known hosts if you liked (cfrun.hosts file for example). But if you have some need for real control you'll probably end up using ssh public keys to allow passwordless copying of the information via ssh in a controlled way. Which is an overhead agreed, but probably worth doing if you have a need to control whats placed in your configuration database. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
