Re: running cfengine across firewall

[Russell Adams]

Perhaps we should compare notes. ;]

Then again, I should clarify. I only use rsync/ssh to transfer data
back from my hosts, not to copy to them.

Updates via rsync/ssh is a push type of solution, which I experimented
with only briefly. I preferred pull vs push, and worked out another
method using signed, per-host tarballs on a webserver.
