Hello all, I intend to clone a master freebsd box (6.1-stable) so that I can roll boxes as fast as possible. These won't be identical machines btw. This comes up from time to time, but I wanted to specifically check security concerns and other things. What sensitive information may be copied that must be removed/regenerated? For example, ssh keys. How would these be regenerated (like the screenful of junk with a new install)? Are there any other similar security issues? How about any other unexpected problems? I'm thinking I only need to change the hostname I was planning to Ghost the harddrives. Cheers Gary
