Copy between the machine using public-private keys

[Harish Chauhan]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a demo envrionment
where I want to copy the files between the two machines without exporting
any file system rather I would like to use the public/private key encyption
method for security reasons.

The setup goes like this :

We have two machines. Machine A and
 Machine B 

1. Machine A with cfengine code (Installed
using the original files)
2. Machine B with only "cfengine
binaries" dumped in /opt/cfegnine  folder and Machine A's public
key in /opt/cfengine/ppkeys folder

"cfservd.conf" is defined
on Machine A and "cfexecd.conf" is running on Machine B

How "cfservd.conf" should
look like in order to copy all other remaining files from Machine A to
machine B.


Looking forward to your reply.....

Thanks in advance.
Regards, Harish Chauhan

I'm not 100% sure if I understand what you want to do. packages will
return classes indicating the state. I'm not sure if you will benefit
much from moving this into update.conf, but you could do the entire
update operation there instead of the files imported by cfagent.conf
