Might try that...a good start on what I want I think. I'd want to manage /etc, /usr/local/etc, and maybe another place or two with this, which I think is supported via multiple runs and carefully-constructed command lines. Only one thing still missing in my book: No change history as in CVS, which would let me repeal an errant update pretty painlessly. I know most users might not want a CVS repository hanging around, but I'd like it, both for the backup and for semi-automated logging (cvs log) of admin changes to an entire system. Come to think of it, a CVS-based system might be adaptable to managing a whole bunch of similar systems via branching and semi- or fully-automatic merging among them. I haven't thought long enough about that to say more though. -- Doug Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bartsite.com "The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere." - Anne Morrow Lindbergh {American Author} _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
