As the help says many times, cfengine makes you think in a different
way. I don't think I have the hang of it yet. I've been reading
http://www.cfengine.org/docs/cfengine-Tutorial.html and even went to
the bookstore to read a bit of the book Automating Unix and Linux
Administration (isbn:1590592123) seeking answers.
I have things up and working (to a point). What I just don't get is
what I need to put on the non-master hosts. In my update.conf I have:
policyhost = ( bach.house.sander )
master_cfinput = ( /etc/cfengine/masters )
And bit further down:
copy:
$(master_cfinput) dest=$(workdir)/inputs
r=inf
mode=700
type=binary
exclude=*.lst
exclude=*~
exclude=#*
server=$(policyhost)
trustkey=true
I thought (but have come to doubt) this would grab the config files
from the policyhost and copy them to the local host. That has not
happened. And I keep getting errors when running cfagent -v on the
local host that look like:
cfengine:: Server returned error: Host authentication failed. Did you
forget the domain name or IP/DNS address regist
ration (for ipv4 or ipv6)?
cfengine:: Can't stat /etc/cfengine/masters in copy
I do not get these errors when I run cfagent -v on the policyhost,
which has an identical update.conf file and an identical file
structure (relative to what's referenced in cfengine's configuration,
anyway).
I think that I'm just wrong about what I think this should do.
So my questions are:
1. Am I wrong to think that the copy should be grabbing the file from
the policyhost with the above setup?
2. If I am wrong, how can that be done?
I know this can be done from my reading. I just cannot figure out
how.
