Okay, so I am not crazy, cf-promises keeps firing with each connection. The
fragment below appears on each client connection to the policy host (fragment
from cf-serverd on the policy host)
cf3 New connection...(from x.xx.xx.xx:sd 4)
cf3 Spawning new thread...
cf3 -> Promises seem to changed
cf3 -> New promises detected...
cf3 -> Verifying the syntax of the inputs...
cf3 -> Failed to cache the state of validation
cf3 !!! System error for creat: "No such file or directory"
cf3 Rereading config files /var/cfengine/inputs/promises.cf..
cf3 Cfengine - 3.1.3a1 Copyright (C) Cfengine AS 2008,2010-
In generic_agent.c (line 227) is where the "No such file or directory" error is
coming from
if (ShellCommandReturnsZero(cmd,true))
{
if (MINUSF)
{
snprintf(filename,CF_MAXVARSIZE,"%s/state/validated_%s",CFWORKDIR,CanonifyName(VINPUTFILE));
MapName(filename);
}
else
{
snprintf(filename,CF_MAXVARSIZE,"%s/masterfiles/cf_promises_validated",CFWORKDIR);
MapName(filename);
}
if ((fd = creat(filename,0600)) != -1)
{
close(fd);
CfOut(cf_verbose,""," -> Caching the state of validation\n");
}
else
{
CfOut(cf_verbose,"creat"," -> Failed to cache the state of validation\n");
}
return true;
It appears that the MINUSF variable is set to true if you use a "-f filename"
flag, which I don't. So it is looking to create:
/var/cfengine/masterfiles/cf_promises_validated
I don't have that directory, so it thinks it hasn't validated the promises and
tries every connection. Once I created the /var/cfengine/masterfiles directory,
everything is peachy!
So perhaps cfengine should create that directory if it doesn't exist?
Interesting that you are moving from $(sys.workdir)/state to
$(sys.workdir)/masterfiles.
