Am I overlooking any potential issues? I think Grant Should look at CFengine, if he is not familar with it. It is the traditional 800 pound Gorrilla when it comes to managing many systems. Surely there are folks there in those forums that can help Grant filter his ideas until they are ready for action. CFengine is in portage. Alan may be right, as CFengine (or whatever) may work better with a binary distribution and is probable more tightly integrated with something like debian or such OSes. hth, James
