Hi, Recently I've been getting to grips with cfengine, hoping to use it to manage all the configuration details for large Linux desktop deployments.

In my experience, for small "stateless" files like /etc/hosts, you can get away with EditFiles statements. For larger files, I would just copy them from your cfengine server.
Copying the configuration files from a server also forces you to standardize on one (or a few) configurations, which IMHO is really helpful.
