info needed reg cfengine.

[chetana]

Hello ,
   I am chetana, from TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, India. I needed
some clarifications regarding the functionality
of cfengine.

Does cfengine have a knowledge-base about the Operating system's files? This means that, if one were to change the permissions for a system file, would cfengine be able to report the discrepency , without having the correct mode specified in the files section in the configuration file?

I agree, this is most likely not possible , since ,if it were, it would have to maintain a knowledge base about many Operating systems! but this is just a thought... Kindly respond if there's any way to do it automatically..

Thanks in advance...
