RE: Copy command copies directories I don't want

[Mark]

Thanks Mark...
Can you go back in this thread and just take quick look at the filter problem I 
had and let me know if I did the filter wrong, or if
filters just don't work for this one either?

I mean my email from 8/24 2:42PM PDT

The filter I was trying to use is this one here:

filters:
   { ignoredir
   Type:        "dir"
   Result:      "!Type"
   }


copy:
        any::
                $(config_download_dir)/etc/
                        trustkey=true
                        filter=ignoredir
                        action=fix
                        dest=/etc/
                        r=0
                        mode=0644
                        owner=root
                        group=root
                        server=$(policy_host)
                        exclude=*
                        ignore=*
                        include=file.that.does.not.exist
                        type=checksum



Thank you,

MARK
