From the message, I suspected the "home" shortcut you alluded to from the reference manual (I saw it to, and was never brave enough to try it) had some other dependency... As is often the case with free community documentation, written by experts which long-ago forgot what it was like not to actually understand what it is they're talking about. ;) Really though... It seems "home" can't expand to anything unless you've defined mountpattern (it doesn't just magically map to a users home). I'm not sure you'd typically want/need to do that, unless you have cfengine managing mounts already. """ 4.10.50 mountpattern mountpattern = ( mount-point ) The mountpattern list is used by the cfengine model for mounting nfs filesystems. See ⟨undefined⟩ [NFS resources], page ⟨undefined⟩. It is also used in the evaluation of the pseudo variable home, See Section 4.19 [files], page 94, Section 4.39 [tidy], page 146. """ It may be easier just to specify a path if all your home directories are in the same place, or define your own variable and set it based upon something like architecture. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
