# cfservd(8)

cfengine server daemon

## NAME

cfservd - cfengine server daemon

## SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/cfservd \[options\]

## DESCRIPTION

**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)

  Enable debugging output. (parsing -d1,run, -d2, lite -d3)

- \-h (--help)
