hi,
sorry for asking something that is not directly related to CFengine,
but as many of you will probably have virtual environments you
probably know the answer.
How can you detect if a host is a vm (esx vm, in my case)? Right now I
have a self maintained class virtual where I add manually hosts

I would set the permissions in the promise. This makes the promise both easier
to understand and more self contained.

Hi.
When I saw the article I had very crazy idea.
You could write promise which will set Virtual class - or report
directly - if it detects
on of those files or any other "symptoms".
This is only for fun ;-)
