Is there any way to change misc.c so that new versions of Linux don't
require a recompile? Sounds like a perfect use for something like the
"file" and "magic" files.
So a cfengine configuration file would spell out what is to be found in
/etc/redhat-release - or whatever it is.
I don't see an entry for CentOS for example - or for Scientific Linux -
or for TinySofa - or for Trustix - or for cAos....
And despite those distributions not being main distributions, they are
major. And then there is Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo...
Not to mention HP-UX 11.0, 11i, Solaris 8, 9, 10 ... how do you keep up
without having to recompile source constantly?
