DESCRIPTION:

Configurations that make changes must be approved by this validator before being exe- cuted. cfengine is a self-healing configuration and change management based system. You can think of.B cfengine as a very high level lan- guage, much higher level than Perl or shell. Asingle statement is called a promise, and compliance can result in many hundreds of files- being created, or the permissions of many hundreds offiles being set. The idea of .B cfengine is to create a one or more sets of configura- tion files which willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a network.
