I was thinking that perhaps rsync would be an ideal method of managing your configuration files through a CVS repository. I'm not familiar with any other method of doing this, nor do I have the knowledge to create a script of my own. I believe you have, and perhaps will, if my suggestion is taken seriously. I have created a CVS repository with the destination root directories and configuration files tucked inside them (~/cvs). This is where I'll be modifying my configurations, not directly onto the system. All I need now is a way to have them distributed, both locally and remotely, to my actual boxes. Perhaps one doesn't require rsync, or for that matter CVS to get this done. I do hope, however, that you'll be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks.
