Depends on what daemon you mean. cfexecd can run as a daemon and
provides scheduling, like cron, for cfagent. Or, you can run cfexecd
from cron and not have it become a background process (-F option). No
daemon necessary there.
cfservd is not necessary on the client side either. You lose the
ability to copy files from the clients, and to use cfrun to initiate
cfagent remotely. If you're ok with logging in to run cfagent when you
can't wait for scheduled runs, and if you don't want to copy files from
client nodes, no need for any daemon on the clients.
Hope this anwers your question.

Hello,
I am looking at cfengine and it seems to be very usefull in my case. I
have a beginer's question that i cannot solve reading the website. I
have lot of little servers that are limited in their number of process.
Is it necessary to have a daemon running on the client side of cfengine
and if not, what part of cfengine will be disabled if this daemon is not
running ?
Thanks a lot for your answers !!
