Right and that is the point of having the switch "Inform true" for
each editfiles statement.  But that doesn't appear to work.  I am just
trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.  I am not
suggesting you alter the policy.  I am trying to determine if the
switch is functioning properly or I am not understanding the switch.

Annoyances have nothing to do with it.  I am in a corporate
environment.  I just can't tell them they have to upgrade.  Plus I
have to fix the my cfengine scripts to work with the new code.  I am
not certain how I am going to do that.  And at this point they are
expecting results for managing their servers.  Not managing their
cfengine binaries.
