I didn't followed the thread, but my 'old' plan (originally I wanted to go for the c^3) to make public our internal scripts with some modifications and set up a system to support a full installation of CentOS with CFEngine included. Currently we use CentOS and a php script to deploy machines. During the boot process or VM creation we can add a kickstart file option, which in our case points to a php script. This script generates the necessary configuration (IP, DNS, etc) and installs necessary RPMs (including CFEngine). I think this system would be handy for beginners, just download a CentOS netinstall ISO (<100MB), create a VM, type in one single line during the installation and within half an hour you have a working system in your virtual environment with CFEngine. Second part of my plan was to implement (at least partially) the RHEL 5 hardening instructions from NSA to show the power in CFEngine. If you think this fits in your plan and can be a handy add-on for it please drop me a private mail please. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
