I looked at cfengine over the last 2 years but being overworked and
understaff it always has been put on the back burner. Now 2 other
departments recently hired people (not IT unfortunatly so far) and
that meant having to go around 100+ servers creating accounts for
them again. So I started looking at cfengine again yesterday.

I got my framework now working, including being able to "push" by
using cfrun to get cfagent to trigger to check for updates.

Now I am starting to look at policies what to implement, well
started with integrating some stuff from my kickstart configs.
Need to rework my yum repository to make it work correctly with
both our 32bit and 64bit installs we are now having.
