Bryan, I think you're right that generation and management of such a file could be difficult and, IMHO, would create a fair amount of bloat in the policy files. It's a nice idea in theory to be able to generate such a "report", but I think making use of Cfengine's native knowledge management features (we're using Nova) is the better approach for our environment.

It would be somewhat of a pain to make sure your cfengine rules always add to this file, or that you properly keep it updated, but it would work. -Bryan On Mon, 1 Feb 2010, Justin Lloyd wrote: > Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 12:42:42 -0700 > From: Justin Lloyd <jll...@digitalglobe.com> > To: nwat...@symcor.com > Cc: help-cfengine@cfengine.org, help-cfengine-boun...@cfengine.org > Subject: RE: Team-based Cfengine Management > > Neil, > > Absolutely, that's my primary focus. The hard part is for everyone to always know (or easily find out) what's under Cfengine control for those emergency moments when the change control process gets "overlooked" and manual changes are made. Ideally, that wouldn't happen.
