Rudder

Rudder agent install is stuck at some point, and can only resume if cf-serverd/execd are killed ( can be done easily by restarting service rudder-agent)

It seems that is a bug when some file descriptors are not closed properly making dpkg hangs ...

11:00:21 rudder-agent has been installed (not started). This host can be a Rudder node.
11:00:21 To get started, configure your Rudder server's hostname and launch the agent:
11:00:21 # echo 'rudder.server' > /var/rudder/cfengine-community/policy_server.dat
11:00:21 # rudder agent start
11:00:21 This node will then appear in the Rudder web interface under 'Accept new nodes'.
