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.
