It depends on the policy. Prior to 3.3 the default generated update policy only looked at mtime. Remote agent clock skew would prevent them from getting policy updates so the stamp was added so that you can use digest comparison. At least thats my understanding. In any case, its policy dependent on weather cf_promises_validated is actually used as an update trigger for remote agents and if so weather its digest or mtime comparison. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
