I like cfengine, and am trying to implement it.
However, it seems to be continually surprising me in how
it does things.
I checked the archives, and I can't find any decent
descriptions of why things like this seem to fail:
# Either one of these should change all /etc/*.conf files
files:
/etc mode=og-w,a-x include=*.conf owner=root group=root action=fixplain
/etc/*.conf mode=og-w,a-x owner=root group=root action=fixplain
# This one finally worked:
/etc mode=og-w,a-x include=*.conf owner=root group=root \
action=fixplain recurse=1
Do I have to recurse just to modify multiple files in a directory?
Also, in the Cfagent Reference (Chapter 3), p. 67, it
lists the syntax starting with a....
/file-object [...]
then in the first descriptive entry below it says:
/directory This is the only obligatory part of a file action.
(!)
Can someone explain in full detail just exactly what goes first into
the files entries?
