Hello Uri, It built, tested and installed all right on openSUSE 11.2 on my laptop, nothing amiss to report.
Reading the article in extras, which I liked quite a bit by the way, I noticed one thing missing: slurping configuration has a few extra details (e.g. comments), it would be nice if you included an example on how to import slightly more sophisticated config files. The best example I know is "one config file to rule them all" http://inthebox.webmin.com/one-config-file-to-rule-them-all but, of course, there are others. I like your module, but I mostly enjoyed the explanation of slurping, pros and cons, you definitely do not see that every day. By the way, in the talk you mentioned the old "Sys Admin" magazine -- Linux New Media has started a new magazine along those lines last year, Admin Magazine: http://www.admin-magazine.com/ The first issue was being distributed at OSCON IIRC. The editor is a friend, if you are interested in writing for them, I can provide you with an introduction (you know these things are mostly for the glory of it of course... the payments for writing articles being what they are these days :). Just thought I'd mention it, I think you would be a good fit for them.
