== Machine Profile Options ==

There is a set of options related to the handling of the machine profile, in particular options related to its download and to its caching on the machine.

Main options that can be tweak are:
 * Download URL: this is the URL where profiles are located. The profile name, derived from the profile template (the template declared as an `object template`), is appended to this URL. The download URL can be defined with variable `QUATTOR_PROFILE_URL`.
 * Cached profile permission: configuration profile is cached on the machine and may contain sensitive information like password hashes. By default it is readable only by `root`. This may be changed by defining variable `QUATTOR_PROFILE_WORLD_READABLE` to `true`. '''Be sure to understand the security risk associated with this'''.
