Thanks for all the helpful suggestions!

Also we can use function classify() to transform the fq hostname to canonical 
form. :-)

        "policy_hosts" expression =>  classify("cfengine.domain.com"),
           handle => "global_classes";

        "policy_hosts" or =>  {classify("cfengine.domain.com")},
           handle => "global_classes";

Justin,

Thanks for the swift response.  And your suggestion worked!  It was that easy.

Sandra,
The one thing that initially catches my eye is your definition of the
policy_hosts class. In your class list, you have a fully-qualified
hostname with dots but Cfengine "canonifies" all classes, turning dots
and other non-alphanumeric characters (dashes, etc.) into underscores.
So try this:
        "policy_hosts" => { "cfengine_domain_com" },
           handle => "global_classes";

Subject: defining classes
Hello,
I've been playing with cfengine for a while, copying configurations, and
running them on my systems. Now I need to make then do what I need them to do.  
For this I need to
define classes.  I've been able to use hard classes to select when some bundles 
are run, however
I've been unable to get the soft classes, I define, to work.
When I run cf-agent, the output tells me:
Skipping whole next promise (test1 Success policy_hosts defined), as c
ontext policy_hosts is not relevant
Here is the promises.cf file:
# Promises.cf
body common control
{
version => "0.1.1";
bundlesequence  => {
                        "g"
                   };
}
        
bundle common g{
# vars referred to as ${g.masterfiles} etc
    vars:
        "masterfiles" string => "/var/cfengine/masterfiles";
        "inputs" string => "${masterfiles}/inputs";
        "workdir" string => "/var/cfengine";
# add policy hosts, we only have one, 192.168.30.58
        "phost" string => "192.168.30.58";
# define classes
    classes:
        "policy_hosts" => { "cfengine.domain.com" },
           handle => "global_classes";
# The following reports section just tests the class definition
    reports:
        policy_hosts::
           "test1";
        linux::
           "test2";
}
