Promises that you write, as opposed to promises written at cfengine.org and shipped with Cfengine. The logical place to put your promises, it seems to me, is in promises.cf -- that's where the body common control is, so it's the only place, isn't it. you can't have to body common controls. and it's the starting place, so you want to put policies where they'll be seen by the sysadmin starting to look for them. I guess what confused me is the site.cf "site-specific configuration". I think it's weird that Cfengine by default will edit /etc/resolv.conf to put cfengine.com in the search path. I would think each site would want to set their own search path. Anyway, I'm not sure what site.cf is.... or why it is a separate file from promises.cf. I guess I ADD things to promises.cf and CHANGE things is site.cf. *scratches head* Aleksey _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
