Re: authentication errors. turns into single copy question

[Kelly Brown]

Ok, I figured out why I'm getting these errors.  It's because I'm trying 
to copy a file that doesn't exist.  Not sure why that's an 
authentication error but anyway...

Here's the problem.  I want to copy a crontab file to each server.  Some 
servers have special crontab files and some just get the generic.  So 
this is what I'm doing...

control:

  singlecopy = ( on ) #their's other stuff too just putting the 
'important stuff'

copy:
  $(masterfiles)/crontab/crontab.$(host)       dest=/etc/crontab
                                               mode=0644
                                               owner=root
                                               type=binary
                                               inform=false
                                               server=$(policyhost)

  $(masterfiles)/crontab/crontab.generic       dest=/etc/crontab
                                               mode=0644
                                               owner=root
                                               type=binary
                                               inform=false
                                               server=$(policyhost)

It does what I want. It copies the crontab.hostname if it exists and if 
it doesn't it grabs the crontab.generic.  Is there some way for it to 
not get the auth errors?  Perhaps something better than what I'm doing here?

Thx
