Hi. What does ${...} mean again? And what's the difference to $(...)

Hi. I'm trying to implement suspiciousnames check as per

Hi. Three years ago, I wanted to use Cfengine 2 to monitor open ports.

If port W is open, it could be an intrusion, so sound the alarm."

Just got to the Functions section of the reference manual and was
overjoyed to see runnable examples. Thank you!! This is fantastic.

What is the purpose of these functions, please? (I've read what they
do, but why?)

I see in the reference manual that there are two ways to invoke a module.
11.87 Function usemodule
Modules must reside in WORKDIR/modules
but no longer require a special naming
convention.
7.1.3 module attribute of commands type promise (set to true)
I guess function is there to give

I'm stuck, guys. I'm trying to set a persistent class,
and then use it. No go.

This does not work either, I do not get a report. What I tried was
I moved the class definition into a common bundle, to make the
persistent class be global.

I'm having trouble setting up copying files.
cf-serverd version 3.1.4 shows, in verbose mode:

I've tried both an IP address and and a regex (.*) Thank you for
letting me know, I'll stick to IP addresses.
I do get the same behavior:
1. cf-agent does not pull down the new files
2. cf-serverd says:
"cf-serverd access list is empty, no files are visible"

I'm trying to set up Cfengine to import (inputs attribute of the
common control promise) a country-specific inputs file, and to call a
country-specific bundle of promises, if the current instance of
Cfengine belongs to the class of that country.
The country class is definited based on the hostname
Thank you very much Neil and bbomgardner for looking at this.

Hi, Seva. Did you try this? I tried what you suggested and cf-agent tried to
read the file called @(g.countryside).
Can you get it to work?
Here is what I have now:
# import italy.cf and run the italy bundlesequence
# only if the hostname matches the pattern mil.*
bundle common define_global
I moved the classes promise higher, before the vars promise,
(which is how it is evaluated anyway), but I get:
Can't stat file "./@(g.country)" for parsing

Could you please post the text you want to edit (the smb.conf file)
and the field_edits code you have in mind?
What changes do you want to make in smb.conf?
