DEFINE STATE IN THE INITIAL MANIFEST
------------------------------------
The **initial manifest** is the entry point for cdist to find out, which
**objects** to configure on the selected host. Objects are instances of
**types**, like in object orientated programming. An object is represented
by the type + slash + object name: ***__file/etc/cdist-configured*** is an
object of the type ***__file*** with the name ***etc/cdist-configured***.
PREPARING YOUR MACHINE / SETUP
------------------------------
Before you actually
- ensure sshd is running on the target host:
ssh target_host
- ensure you can login as root
ssh root@target host
- ensure login as root works without keys
(see ssh... manpage)
cdist will do a lot of requests to the target
host, thus you'll have to enter your password
many times, if you don't do this :-)
- speedup processing with ControlMaster option of
ssh
Cdist searches for the initial manifest at **conf/manifest/init** and
executes it as a shell script using **/bin/sh -e**.
