in the cfengine reference manual, there is an example given of a negative
group definition:
notthis = ( !this )
yet when i tried to use this idiom, i got the error:
Wildcards cannot be used in this context
what am i doing wrong?
also, is this supposed to be able to negate another group, or just a
hostname, or what? for example, what actually want to do is something
like:
mailhosts = ( host1 host2 )
nonmailhosts = ( !mailhosts )
ie, all machines which are not part of the 'mailhosts' group are part of the
'nonmailhosts' group -- and as such can, for example, have a 'client'
sendmail config copied over and have the links to sendmail startup scripts
removed from /etc/rc[0-9].d/.
