Re: using copy_from help

Expense isn't really part of the equation here -- part of what I wanted to point out -- most people have load balancers around already (for their website or other applications), and if not they at least have Linux boxes and get load balancing for free. Do you mean the expense of configuring it all

Re: using copy_from help

Loading balancing and redundancy are two separate requirements. Sometimes the merge but not always. Most of the load in Cfengine is on the client so the server is not typically very busy. It is nice to have a redundant server in case of failure but I don't think that a load balancer is often wort

package_file_repositories functionality not implemented?

Hi, Just getting started with cfengine. I am trying to verify that a certain package is installed (rpm on a SLES9 system), and if it’s not, install it from an rpm file stored in /usr/src/packages/RPMS. From my understanding of the documentation, package_file_repositories in the package_method body

Same package with different archs

Hi, can anyone give me a working example for installing the same package with two different archs? I have sth like this: # yum list all | grep glibc-devel glibc-devel.x86_64 2.5-42installed glibc-devel.i3862.5-42

Re: using copy_from help

Curious -- Why not just load balance N policy hosts, which appear as one "server" (cfservd VIP) to clients (thereby requiring no special configuration). Some would argue this is best practice for any large org, and free load balancing solutions are available and widely used for those without a bud

I would like to configure copy_from to first try using a external server if thats not available then use local filesystem. How can I set this up. Thanks, Mahmoud ___ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/

Re: copy and file perms

My point is that the promise is still changing permissions even though no permissions are specifically promised. It seems that the agent defaults to setting the target permissions to match the source permissions. Sincerely, -- Neil Watson 416-673-3465 help-cfengine-boun...@cfengine.org wrote o
