This is a pretty common problem discussed on this list, and there have
been many suggestions to solve it.
Browse around through the archives; you're bound to find some useful
information.
In early November there was a discussion with subject "editfiles
methodology question" that discussed some of these issues.
I also started a discussion that got into this topic in a thread titled
"ctime vs checksum in copies".
Finally, there was a discussion just a couple weeks ago titled
"editfiles template; multiple edits; setting a class on update" that
brought up some of these issues.
There are probably more -- I found these by searching for
"ExpandVariables" in my e-mail archive.

Hello,
I'd like to copy a file from my main server and then edit it (add lines
containing the name of the server).
So my conf files seems to :
copy:
${basefiles}/etc/test dest=/etc/test
server=${policyhost}
editfiles:
{ /etc/test
...
}
But the copy/editfiles is done every time if run cfrun, because copy see
that the files changed so copy it again, and edit file too.
Is there a solution for editfiles not changes informations used by copy
directive ?
Thanks.
