Already had problems with that.. How can one tell?
I found this tutorial:
http://www.sysadmin.hep.ac.uk/wiki/Cfengine

But I was told on the IRC channel that it is for 2.X

Aha.. thanks. That will do the trick.

Yes. I got the rpm from there for Linux and in FreeBSD I just used ports.

What I am looking for is a barebones example of getting 1 master and 1 
client to exchange a file. The info on the official site seems decent as a 
reference, but a little confusing (to me) as a tutorial. The tutorial tries 
to cover too much ground in my opinion. I think the tutorial probably should 
be broken out into "concepts" and an actual "quick start quide".
