Michael, Mark, Thanks, I have removed the purge setting. I usually get one of these unwanted purges every night, so we'll see in a few days.
This seems a likely solution, the reference says "Great care should be exercised when using this feature." [1]. I don't know where I got purge=true from - I must have copied it from somewhere without giving it any particular thought. - Erlend [1] http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#copy_005ffrom-in-files _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
