GNU cfengine
Cfengine is a tool for setting up and maintaining BSD and System-5-like operating system optionally attached to a TCP/IP network. You can think of cfengine as a very high level language, much higher level than Perl or shell: a single statement can result in many hundreds of operations being performed on multiple hosts. Cfengine is good at performing a lot of common system administration tasks, and allows you to build on its strengths with your own scripts.

Changes: cfservd was patched so that it no longer serves wrong data when link->copy is used. Checksum changes now trigger persistent class "checksum_alerts" and log to WORKDIR/state/file_hash_event_history. A threading error was fixed for cfexecd. Windows compilation was fixed. Windows users might have to move keys and files from /home/user/.cfagent to /var/cfengine after the standardization of administrator paths for Windows where getuid is not 0.
