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 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.B 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 .B
       cfengine is to create a one or more sets of configuration files which
       willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a network.
