NAME

       cf-serverd - cfengine's server agent

SYNOPSIS:

        cf-serverd [options]

DESCRIPTION:

       The  server daemon provides two services: it acts as a file server for remote file copying
       and it allows an authorized cf-runagent to start start a cf-agent process and set  certain
       additional classes with role-based access control.

       cfengine is a self-healing configuration and change management based system. You can think
       of cfengine as a very high level language, much higher level than Perl or  shell.  Asingle
       statement  is  called  a promise, and compliance can result in many hundreds of filesbeing
       created, or the permissions of many hundreds offiles being set. The idea of cfengine is to
       create a one or more sets of configuration files which willclassify and describe the setup
       of every host in a network.
