cfexecd, inform, syslog

[Scott Walters]

Hello all,

        I would like to have the local cfagent, called from cfexecd, email
the sysadm *any* time cfengine makes a change to a system.  And to this
point, I have been able to get cfagent be chatty in any capacity when
called from cfexecd.  Using "cfexecd -F"

cfagent.conf:

   inform = ( on )
   verbose = ( on )
   syslog = ( on )
   smtpserver = ( mailhost.mysite.com )  # used by cfexecd
   sysadm = ( cfadmin@mysite.com )     # where to mail output


        Only one time has the inform or syslog worked, and this was the
output:

cfengine:dev2: Challenge response from server
dev1.mysite.com/xxx.xxx.xxx.xx was incorrect!
cfengine:dev2: Authentication dialogue with dev1.mysite.com failed

        I have a couple little actions defined for copy and files.  When I
run cfagent by hand with "cfagent -I" I get the output I am looking for.

[root@dev2 bin]# ./cfagent -I
cfengine:dev2: /etc/shadow had permission 400, changed it to 600


        TIA
