No there is nothing special requiring any specific policy file names.

That post pulled in policy from this repo:

https://github.com/nickanderson/cfengine-ssh

And the def.cf in that small policy simply defined the additional inputs
that should be loaded.

https://github.com/nickanderson/cfengine-ssh/blob/master/def.cf



So instead of this:

{
"classes":
{
"services_autorun": [ "any" ]
},

"inputs": [ "services/ssh/def.cf" ]
}

I could have done this:

{
"classes":
{
"services_autorun": [ "any" ]
},

"inputs": [
"services/ssh/policy/inventory_ssh_host_key_fingerprints.cf",
"services/ssh/policy/inventory_duplicate_ssh_host_key_fingerprints.cf" ]
}

thanks, the ladder one is what I'd understood =)
