Hi - very much a n00b when it comes to cfengine, we have an existing cfengine
setup and I've installed a new client that needs to fall in line with all other
clients from the policyhost. The client itself is on a different network to the
policyhost but they can see each other and the initial cfagent INSTALL command
appears to work, command run was:
/opt/tools/sbin/cfagent --version
GNU cfengine 2.2.10
/opt/tools/sbin/cfagent --debug --no-splay --verbose --define DINSTALL
Both servers are Solaris 10 servers and I'm trying to figure out why the
/etc/inet/hosts file from the policyhost is not getting copied as I'd expect.
Our cfengine setup does a lot more than just this for a wide number of files
and servers but I think if I can figure this out it will be the same for the
other issues around files I'm having.
The results I have are:
1) If I edit /etc/inet/hosts on the client and then run the above command my
edited version remains and is not replaced with the version from the policyhost
which is what I would expect to happen .. I think.
File object /etc/inet/hosts will promise attributes if context matches

Checking copy from
policyhost:/export/home/admin/cfengine/masterfiles/system/live/hosts to
/etc/inet/hosts
Performance(Copy(policyhost:/export/home/admin/cfengine/masterfiles/system/live/hosts
> /etc/inet/hosts)): time=0.1389 secs, av=0.1351 +/- 0.0368
cf:tdukunxtest03: Commence checking file(s) in /etc/inet/hosts
cf:tdukunxtest03: Link (/etc/hosts->./inet/hosts) exists.
So the result is my /etc/inet/hosts remains unchanged and is not the same as on
the policyhost.
2) If I then run the cfexecd command in debug mode again the result is the same.
As for the policyhost I've ensured the new client exists in the cf.groups file
as the others do and also added an entry for the new network, we currently have
ipv4_192_168_75, ipv4_192_168_65 etc and I've added ipv4_192_168_55
ExtNets = ( ipv4_192_168_75 ipv4_192_168_20 ipv4_192_168_65 ipv4_192_168_55
ipv4_62_105_91 ipv4_192_168_77 tdukwbfw02 )
There's also a cf.hosts file which by the looks of it should be responsible for
the copy of /etc/inet/hosts out to the clients as such:
######################################################################
copy:
# FWHosts have different (local) aliases
ExtNets.!FWHosts::
$(masterdir)/system/live/hosts dest=/etc/inet/hosts
server=$(mainserver) mode=444 define=hosts o=root g=sys
IntNets::
$(masterdir)/system/UAT/hosts dest=/etc/inet/hosts
server=$(mainserver) mode=444 define=hosts o=root g=sys
######################################################################
files:
/etc/inet/hosts mode=444 owner=root group=sys action=fixall
######################################################################
links:
/etc/hosts ->! ./inet/hosts
######################################################################
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Julian.
