Why not just integrate something like CVS into all :configuration files? : :-- :====================================================================== :Brad Knowles, ... and, in fact, that is what I do. It works great. I have all my major configuration files under CVS on earth.backplane.com. You don't have to put every file in the filesystem under CVS, you only put the directories and configuration files in those directories under CVS (making sure all the directories in which configuration files are placed and their parent directories up to root have a CVS/ subdirectory). CVS does not recurse past a directory without a CVS/ subdirectory so doing a 'cvs commit' is instantanious pretty much. It's amazing how well it works. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
