I can't quite figure it out from the documentation. Are the sections in
the client-local.cfg file cumulative? That is, if I have a redhat
server named "servA", do both the "[redhat]" and "[servA]" sections
apply? Or is it just the first section in the cfg file that matches
that applies?
[servA] will apply.
[redhat] will apply for all others redhat hosts without [hostname] section.
Extract of man client-local.cfg(5):
FILE FORMAT
The file is divided into sections, delimited by "[name]"
lines. A section name can be either an operating system
identifier - linux, solaris, hp-ux, aix, freebsd, openbsd,
netbsd, darwin - or a hostname. When deciding which section
to send to a client, Hobbit will first look for a section
named after the hostname of the client; if such a section
does not exist, it will look for a section named by the
operating system of the client. So you can configure special
configurations for individual hosts, and have a default con-
figuration for all other hosts of a certain type.
Apart from the section delimiter, the file format is free-
form, or rather it is defined by the tools that make use of
the configuration.
