- Please consider filling in this questionaire about cfengine. It
- will help me to evaluate its performance and in the development
- of new work in the future. Thanks.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Are you using cfengine? If not, are you interested in using it?
- What are your reasons? If so, what version of cfengine are you using?
-
- 2. Approximately how many hosts does your cfengine configuration
- cover? What OSes?
-
- 3. Have you used any other system administration tools (e.g. Tivoli,
- Openview, Solstice?) If so, in what way were these tools good or bad
- compared to cfengine?
-
- * ease of configuration
- * power of expression
- * limitations
- * efficiency
- * security
-
- 4. How would rate on a scale of 1 to 10 (where 10 is good) the
- following features of cfengine
-
- * Central configuration file
- * Classes
- * Pull rather than push in copying
- * Convergence
- * Mount model
- * Its basic functionality
- * Its reliabilty
- * The idea of feedback through classes
- * Anything else (please specify)
-
- 5. Do you feel that cfengine is missing any important/pressing
- features? If so please mention these.
-
- 6. Do you use cfengine mainly to warn about problems or to fix them
- automatically?
-
- 7. Do you think that it is desirable to minimize the amount of
- cfengine output (faults, etc) which is sent to the administrator? Or
- would you prefer to see more?
-
- 8. Briefly, what kind of network model do you have? - Firewall. Would
- you use cfengine on the firewall? - Central file server with NFS
- clients (other file systems) - Many distributed fileservers.
-
- 9. Do you use cfengine for garbage collection? i.e. file and process
- tidying. If so, what kind of policy do you use to decide which types
- of file should be deleted?
-
- 10. Do you run NT? If so would you like to have the same kind of
- administrative model there, or is the domain server administration
- model adequate? How do you deal with garbage collection in NT?
-
- 11. Do you feel that cfengine saves you time in performing routine tasks?
-
- 12. Does cfengine simplify communication of system policy between
- cooperating administrators, by having a single configuration file(set)
- which is self-documenting?
