Yes. And if the NICs are replaced too. It's not enough however (from a correctness PoV) when cloning a disk. There's a number of files that get generated on first boot -- the ssh key files come to mind (/etc/ssh/ssh_host_* ) . The postgres' server.crt too. Unfortunately there isn't an easy command on linux distros to return the OS to a 'pristine' state (IIRC, there's one on Solaris). cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
