I am evaluating Cfengine to determine
if it can feasibly replace SYSCTL.
Does Cfengine do the following and how?:
1. Allow
software updates/maintenance from a peer node to a peer node
2.
Allow client to pull updates/maintenance
3. Allow
client to refuse updates or exclude certain filesets/rpm packages from
updates
4. Recovery
to previous state (rollback feature) in case there is a problem
5. Provide
reports that show hardware and software inventories on managed nodes
Thanks,
Rasheda
