I agree that @sample'ing files is fairly wrong, but some people were really strong about it. I would rather instruct the user in the README how to do a basic setup or refer to the "Cfengine Quick Start Guide". It could be as simple as: To setup a policy hub perform the following steps: 1. Create key-pair and necessary directories by executing cf-key 2. Copy sample configuration files to /var/cfengine/masterfiles 3. Edit configuration files accordingly 4. Bootstrap hub with cf-agent --bootstrap --policy-server <own IP> To setup a client perform the following steps: 1. Create key-pair and necessary directories by executing cf-key 2. Bootstrap client with cf-agent --bootstrap --policy-server <hub IP> During bootstrapping the files are copied from the masterfiles directory on the policy host to the inputs directory on the clients. When the files are successfully copied the host is bootstrapped. During normal operation cf-agent will first execute update.cf which will download the updated version of the configuration from the policy hub. The second step is to execute promises.cf which contains the policy. If you have any questions I'm happy to help. Kind regards, Martijn Rijkeboer
