Thanks for your answers, I can just add that to avoid std problems, we have only one clone-base(golden) per SLES version. We use the 'clone-any-server' possibility just if really needed or for example when we have one new server that had been setup with customer apps, we can clone that one to

About creating clones, we have made another approach. Every server configures the network/ip itself at every boot, Configures the network at *every* boot? Why not just at first boot? Do you never put the real IP address, host name and other values in /etc? Pretty much DHCP, without the

Actually, foo is unrelated to fubar. Foo was the licence plate on Smokey Stover's two wheeled car in the comic strips, dating back to the 1920's or 1930's. Fubar and foobar came into use later, as far as I can tell, but it's hard to trace things like that. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo

Yup, beyond all doubt. But foo was still the license plate on Smokey Stover's car and has nothing to do with fubar or foobar. It may have been Pascal, but I had a textbook whose favorite variable names were foo, bar and foobar. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation.~. RO-OE-5-55
