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.
-d (--debug)
