If all you are trying to do is to manage access have you considered any form

How about either nesting classes or having more than one condition?

I am a total newbie myself, but this is my understanding so far.
There are "hard" classes and "soft" classes. A hard class is something
cfengnie detects by itself such as hostname, ip and such things.
Soft classes a

How do people handle their cfengine test environments..
My plan so far:
Setup a cfengine test environment
1 master
3 clients (one of each type of machine)
Use CVS to track changes
After I have tested a set of promises, move to production by doing an
update from CVS. Production will be 1 CFmaster

Even though I am still learning.. both auditing and compliance are
something we have to do so already asked for more info on the

With lots of help from Michael Ciavarella I got an initial test setup going.
The first thing that became obvious is that there wasn't a straightfoward
way to define groups of machines for receiving certain tasks/files.

Like many other things with CFengine, even that I find not to be straight
