+Cfengine is an autonomous agent (a software robot).
+
+Written by Mark Burgess, a Professor of Network and System Administration
+at Oslo University College, Norway.
+
+It is used to implement policy-based configuration management on open systems
+(Unix-like environments) through the interpretation of its own declarative
+language.
+
+It emphasizes an 'immunological' viewpoint, making its modus operandi
+convergence to a stable state.
+
+Note: Even though an rc file is included, at least an update.conf is
+needed as well (a sample is also included in the package).
