Hmmm. By definition, isn't this the configuration files of cfengine? That is, cfengine's job is to bring a system into compliance with the configuration files. Therefore, the files should represent the current state of the system. Beyond that, you could put a script into place that is triggered by cfrun that will report on the current state of the system. -- David Masterson VMware, Inc.
