Re: Cfengine sources

[Christian Pearce]

We are working to support it professionally.  I actually installed it 
yesterday.  I looked at it a long time ago and was able to do some very cool 
stuff.  We automated registry edits and installation of a BB client, etc.

I have since started working with cfengine v2.  We want to be able to install 
cfengine with a stripped down version of cygwin or full blown cygwin depending 
on what the customer wants.  Essentially boil it down to a binary package, 
setup.exe.  

I started playing around with automating integrit to generate the tripwire like 
reports.  It should prove useful.  I am not a windows guy and cfengine makes 
good use of automating tools.  I just don't know what types of things windows 
guys do to manage their machines.  I assume they have to do something. :)
