Re: excludes in copies

[Phil D'Amore]

We maintain all of our cfengine-distributed files in CVS, and I do this:

ignore:
   # CVS administrative stuff
   CVS

Should be able to slap that in cfagent.conf, or any other file that is 
unconditionally read for all hosts, and that would clear up your problem 
permanently (substituting for the proper directory name of course).
