SOLVED: Disable deletes the file [again]

[Harry Hoffman]

Hi Eric,

Thanks very much for the help...  I'm sorry to report (well, sorry that 
I was being stupid) that it was a typo that was catching me out...

Even though cfagent reported that it was moving the file to 
/etc/hosts.equiv.testing it seems to have taken precedence for
the value of the Repository (/var/spool/cfengine).

Unfortunately, I had a typo specifying that a tidy should take place in 
/var/spool/cfengine for everything older then age=0 (it should have been 
age=10).

The files were getting deleted before I ever saw them in the Repository.

Should the Repository setting override a dest in disable?


Thanks again,
Harry
