Package: cfengine3
Version: 3.0.2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Hi!
Thanks for packaging v3 of cfengine! I've been using cfengine2 for a while on
some other systems, but for a new one decided to give a try to the 3rd version.
Since it is a complete rewrite and configuration is different, it takes a bit
of time to get off the ground. Therefor I first consulted README.Debian of
cause ;)
Per README.Debian:
if you want to test that everything is
working you can do:
cp /usr/share/doc/cfengine3/examples/* /etc/cfengine3/
/etc/init.d/cfengine3 start
BUT:
1. please avoid compressing .cf files with dh_compress -X.cf
r...@head1:/etc/cfengine3# ls /usr/share/doc/cfengine3/examples/*gz
/usr/share/doc/cfengine3/examples/site.cf.gz
2. adjust the paths in the example configs to reflect Debian-specifics outlined
in README.Debian
r...@head1:/etc/cfengine3# zgrep -e /var/cfengine -e /usr/local
/usr/share/doc/cfengine3/examples/*
/usr/share/doc/cfengine3/examples/library.cf:
"0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /var/cfengine/bin/cf-execd -F";
/usr/share/doc/cfengine3/examples/update.cf: "master_location" string =>
"/var/cfengine/masterfiles";
/usr/share/doc/cfengine3/examples/update.cf: "/var/cfengine/inputs"
/usr/share/doc/cfengine3/examples/update.cf: "/var/cfengine/bin"
/usr/share/doc/cfengine3/examples/update.cf: copy_from =>
mycopy("/usr/local/sbin","localhost"),
3. Don't advise such a simple action and copy/start, since it might do
evil things and possibly open-up to evil people:
e.g.
bundle edit_line resolver
{
vars:
"search" slist => { "search cfengine.com" };
...
roles:
".*" authorize => { "mark" };
...
or even worse, if path gets adjusted and rule executed:
"/var/cfengine/bin"
perms => u_p("700"),
copy_from => mycopy("/usr/local/sbin","localhost"),
depth_search => recurse("inf"),
action => immediate;
THANK you in advance! I guess now I will go and check up/change more to
actually get it running ;)
