The following reply was made to PR ports/51548; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bob Van Valzah <bob@VanValzah.Com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: bob@Bastion.VanValzah.Com Subject: Re: ports/51548: cfexecd from cfengine2 port has wrong path to cfagent Date: Fri, 16 May 2003 08:23:08 -0500 (CDT) Please close this PR--I never should've opened it. At the time, I didn't understand what cfengine2 was trying to do. Now I think I do. I'm not at all sure I agree with it, but I understand it. I now believe it is correct for the port to install everything under /usr/local and for cfengine to have hard-wired paths expecting to run it from /var/cfengine/bin. Common practice seems to be to write cfengine scripts that copy the binaries you want to run either from a local source (e.g. /usr/local/sbin) or a trusted policy host into /var/cfeingine/bin. I can't find mention of this expectation in the docs, but the usage examples all go this way and it kinda makes sense. I've also just submitted a port upgrade to version 2.0.6. Sorry to've troubled you with this. Bob
