 |

I was wondering whether anyone could give my ideas on how to manage/admin my server's config files. I have 12+ machines and having to change settings manually on each one can take a fair amount of time and can be error prone.
I have looked at cfengine and it does not quite do what I want. I currently have the config files stored in a remote CVS repository. This is great for version management and the such.
What I'm looking for is a system where I could store a "default" template of a config file remotely. Then "checkout" this "default" file and run a script to configure the file for this machine. This would mean that I could change one file and update all the machines from this file.
I've been looking at developing this myself using: CVS, m4, perl and makefiles (perhaps rsync). I also want to keep it simple. Does anyone know of a project that does this? What does everyone else use?
Thanks, |
