Re: cfagent.conf for clients in different subnets

[Morgan Ives]

Matt,
   We do this type of  thing by using NIS netgroups. 
All members of each subnet are
    placed in  a netgroup.  The NIS netgroup
is then referenced in the groups section
    of cfengine.conf.   For example, 
assuming NIS netgroups net1 and net2.

groups:
    subnet1 = ( +@net1 )
    subnet2 = ( +@net2 )

copy:
    subnet1::
            ${repos}/auto_master.net1 dest=/etc/auto_master
             o=root g=bin m=644 type=sum define=restartautofs
    subnet2::
            ${repos}/auto_master.net2 dest=/etc/auto_master
             o=root g=bin m=644 type=sum define=restartautofs
 

    This is not exactly what you want but it works.    We were already
    maintaining NIS subnet groups for other reasons so this was easy for
     me to implement.

Folks

I am using cfengine quite well.

Small problem in that half the clients are in one subnet and half in another
e.g 127.4.4.XXX    127.4.5.XXX

Currently my cfagent.conf file looks like
copy:
        solaris::

        /usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris/subnet1      dest=/
                                                        recurse=inf
                                                        server=WHAT_ever

        /usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris/subnet2      dest=/
                                                        recurse=inf
                                                        server=WHAT_ever
What would be nice is just to have one input e.g
/usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris

File's in there to have some end tag to say they were part of subnet1 or subnet2
or no end tag to make the file on both subnets.
e.g

/usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris/etc/auto_master_#subnet1# >- copy to client as /etc/auto_master
/usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris/etc/auto_master_#subnet2# >- copy to client as /etc/auto_master
/usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris/etc/nsswitch.conf             >- copy to client as /etc/nsswitch.conf

If the above makes any sense ?
Any idea's if it is possible , and if so how.

If it make any difference I am using cfengine version 2.0.5

Thanks
