linxus103 acts as the cfengine server for managing cfengine clients on the linxus network.
The most important (and easily broken) aspect of cfengine's operation on linxus103 is the /config/ directory. This contains updated copies of scripts used by cfengine as well as updated copies of the passwd and shadow files pushed down by Push_Pass. This directory is updated automatically using bazaar and an automated script (/usr/sbin/mergeconfig.sh). If the cfmaster bazaar archive ever has to be rebuilt, this automatic process will break, due to incompatible revisions, and the /config/ directory will have to be recreated using bazaar on the root account.
