Erm, how does a package one one system get the configuration from another to respect said sanctity of the package? It looks like i can deploy configurations from the cfengine master, and that is what I am looking for; rather than sshing to n machines and editing the same line on all of them manually. -- jamesw Always two there are; a Bastard, and a PFY. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

i've used cfengine for exactly that purpose for quite a while, and
have been intending to give a talk on it for ~8months now.
since you're about the 7th SLUG person to ask about cfengine, am i
allowed to give this talk this month? (or are we still trying to get
non-committee members to give at least one talk?)
(oops, did i say that out loud? ;)
