The purpose of each binary is explained in this paragraph in the reference guide: http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#Getting-started Basically, most binaries are needed on each server, although you could probably do without cf-runagent or cf-serverd if you're sure you don't to pull any files from the "end servers".
