cf-serverd(8)
NAME
cf-serverd - cfengine's server agent
SYNOPSIS:
cf-serverd [options]
DESCRIPTION:
The server daemon provides two services: it acts as a file server for
remote file copying and it allows an authorized cf-runagent to start
start a cf-agent process and set certain additional classes with rolebased access control.
cfengine is a self-healing configuration and change management based
system. You can think of cfengine as a very high level language, much
higher level than Perl or shell. Asingle statement is called a promise,
and compliance can result in many hundreds of filesbeing created, or
the permissions of many hundreds offiles being set. The idea of
cfengine is to create a one or more sets of configuration files which
willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a network.
