Yes. For example, I want the /etc/init.d/postfix file on my system to
copy /etc/passwd into the chroot jail postfix's smtpd runs in. I know
that if /etc/init.d/postfix doesn't have "etc/passwd" in it, then it
won't be doing this copy. So I have this in my cfengine.conf:
editfiles:
{
/etc/init.d/postfix
WarnIfNoLineContaining "etc/passwd"
}
Most everything in cfengine seems to have a way to just warn about the
problem instead of fixing it.
By "warn" cfengine means "print something" -- it is up to you to set
up scripts to send e-mail to the right person if cfengine prints
something. There are example scripts in the distribution.
