Hey, fellow Cfengineers,

I read in the manual, "Cfengine is case-sensitive (in all things)..." and am 
trying to find a way around this for classes.

I ran across a machine that someone happened to name with all-caps.  One 
machine I can rename by hand, but I can't check a thousand servers by hand, and 
I obviously need a way to maintain a consistent rule.  Someone who likes 
upper-case (or a mix of the two -- MyHost.MyDomain.COM) could put a lot of 
bumps in my otherwise smooth road to convergence with Cfengine.

Hmmm...  What are people's thoughts on this?

Is there a tr/// equivalent for Cfengine?  Would you make an execresult call to 
sed on /etc/hosts to be sure everything's lower-case and then somehow transform 
the host's name and feed it back to the "hostname" command in lower-case?
