Thanks for the quick encouragement.  One of the comments in the
earlier thread made me think there might be a bug blocking my
way.

Yay, I have a connection.  (I think SkipIdentify was one missing key,
I'll explore that later.)

I trying to follow the examples in the docs; I'm guessing my workdir 
should be "/var/lib/cfengine2" on all machines.  This is where the
inputs and ppkeys directory is on Debian.

Despite all the reading I've done I feel uncertain about which files
I should be referring to when.

Be well,
