This above is not fully true, we have unbound in /var/unbound, tomcat in /var/tomcat... Yes but cfengine concept is special, it is not just mgmt tool, but autocorrecting tool. The (official) purpose for having cfengine in /var/cfengine is because you can have /usr/local mounted via network which would make autocorrection of cfengine useless. cfengine should be installed "locally" on all hosts, not depending on sharing /usr or /usr/local, the best build statically. Scenario: you fucked up your fstab for network mounted /usr/local, then cfengine has not way to repair it as it is not available. And last one... This location is what upstream "supports". jirib
