similar to: cfengine version 3?

Anyone ever implimented cfengine on 4.x ? I am just looking for background and if there are any traps to fall into? thanks

Does anyone have a handy example or howto pointer for the matching config changes needed to make sendmail/procmail deliver in maildir format in home directories and for dovecot to access it there? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Hey folks, I have a problem with the definition of a variable of type slist in CFEngine on # uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release Linux policyhub.example.com 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 21:09:27 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) I'm not sure if its valid to ask CFEngine questions on this mailing list, but as far as I'm running on

OK,

I've been copying old passwd/shadow/group files from system to system for ages across different distributions/updates and would like to get them back in sync with each other so the system tools will work. Now they hang like: #userdel irose hangs forever, syslog says: Jul 12 11:19:32 newftp userdel[30335]: delete user `irose' Jul 12 11:19:32 newftp userdel[30335]: delete `irose'

Just wondering if anyone out there is using sudo across a bunch of machines and has a system/script for painlessly distributing a master sudoers file? is it as easy as a daily cronjob running wget/scp/rsync?

Hello, I have a home setup where I am using Centos 4.4 as a sort of mail server. This is what I have done. I have it configured to pop mail locally. I have fetchmail configured to dl from my provider my families mail through a cron job and .fetchmailrc in their home directories. They then pop the server to retrieve their mail. They send their mail directly through the provider. I have

I think my sendmail is not correctly set. It says the default is to disallow relaying. I am running centos 4.8 and I think sendmail is relaying for anything. Based on this: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/chk-89f.html#RELAYING I added|: FEATURE(relay_hosts_only) to my sendmail.mc file and restarted sendmail. I am still seeing connects that get relayed and are not in my /etc/mail/access

Hello all, I've got a CentOS box that became non-responsive today for some obscure reason and had to be rebooted. Is there a way to find out when it last had to be rebooted before today? uptime gives you no history past the very last reboot, so obviously I need to find some other way to get an answer to my question. Thanks for any and all tips. Boris. -------------- next part --------------

What's available to remotely monitor services? What I'd like is something that can run scripts for each service to connect to a port and verify that it's up, and then send me an SMS message (phone text) to let me know which, if any, are down. Also, does a script exist that checks all the services listed by chkconfig and reports those that should be up but are down?

Hello, I''ve recently begun looking at Puppet as an alternative to Cfengine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Besides the information posted on the Puppet website, are there any critical differences between Puppet and Cfengine? 2) Does Puppet allow for client-specific file text manipulation. For instance, in Cfengine I can add a line of text to a file if the line doesn''t

The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing??

Hello All, I have been tasked with getting some configuration management system running at work. We have about 20 web servers running (some virtual and some physical), and we are trying to come up with a tool that will assist setting up new boxes as we bring them online, as well as maintaining existing systems when changes are necessary. After spending a little bit of time searching around

Greetings everyone. Let me preface this with the following, I know this is not specific to CentOS but I do value the input given by *many* of the users on this list. I can not think of a more appropriate place to ask these questions. Let me just break down my setup: 20 CentOS 4 servers, all running apache. The only things that are unique on each server are the network settings and the apache
