All client metadata is determined on + the server side.} +\end{itemize} + +The client configuration consists of a complete software inventory, +extra filesystem modifications, and configuration file changes. The +client configuration will be augmented in BCFG2 to also include state +information about process profiles and normal usage. + +\end{document}
