cfengine is a language based system specifically designed for testing and
configuring unix-like systems attached to a TCP/IP network. Cfservd
is a file server and protective wrapper for starting cfengine
remotely. It performs access control based on RSA authentication and
IP address.
The daemon looks for a configuration file cfservd.conf by default.
Cfservd gives little information when it fails to serve. This is by design.
More information can be obtained using the debug option -d2 on both
client and server ends.
