Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Re: "irreconcilable constraints" error when trying to set a role class based on a hostname. (Was Re: Machine types) Author: neilhwatson Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,18468,18475#msg-18475
I'm going to go off on a rant here. DNS names should not be used as an inventory system. DNS is used to make host names easier to remember than IP addresses. If a host name is harder to remember than an IP address then the naming convention has failed. http://watson-wilson.ca/blog/name-conv.html There is no substitute for a proper inventory system. When you make class names you need a-zA-Z0-9_ only. The underscore is the only allowable punctuation. When in doubt classify or canonify. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
