RE: cfengine ran from redhat kickstart file

[Lumpkin, Buddy]

Hey Mark,

I just want to remind you that people appreciate your work on CFengine. Please 
don't read too much into it when people say it would be nice to have better 
documentation (as I did recently referring to automatic key exchange). It is in 
fact something that needs to be done but that doesn't change the fact that you 
deserve a huge atta-boy for creating CFengine and for aggressively adding 
features and trying to find the time to document them..

I think I can speak for everyone on this list by saying ... Thank You :)

I think this is a it exaggerated, but I will try to write a how-to
on this. It will have to be in skeleton form and someone else
can flesh it out. I'm snowed under at the moment.
