Hi all,
I am one week into my cfengine experience.
My first goal is to control the contents of a few directories related to our
product.
I have a test machine acting as its own policy server.
(Soon I'lll make the policy server remote.)
And, I have a few directories under cfengine3 control.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My problem:
I want to make a few exceptions:
There are files scattered around the controlled directories that I need to
allow the user to change.
For now, I'm satisfied with letting these files change in any way at all.
(Eventually, maybe I'll allow only certain legal forms of difference from
master.)
I tried using ...
body file_select ex_list
... and listing the exceptions. But I also have ...
body copy_from mycopy(from, server)
purge => "true";
... to keep unwanted files out of my controlled directories.
With purge => true, the files in my ex_list get purged by cf-agent.
What's the simplest way to allow files to change while purging party crashing
files?
Thanks,
Ron
