The following options are configurable in the "Administration" screen of the web interface:

• Require time synchronization between nodes and policy server
• Use reverse DNS lookups on nodes to reinforce authentication to policy server
• Agent run schedule
• Number of days to retain modified files
• Number of days to retain agent output files

These parameters all lead to system variables that are used during promise generation to adapt CFEngine policies.

When changing any of these, a "save" just updates the value stored in the backend, but doesn't actually trigger a promise generation. Therefore, the change is not taken into account until something else triggers a promise generation (a user manually, or another config change).

This should be fixed. Targeting for 2.9 because the first two options are in 2.9., the three other parameters will be treated in #4661
