Hi :) I'm actually using rdist for centralized management of certain files (/etc/hosts, /etc/motd...). Is there a way to use rdist (or any other tools alike) too update a file on a remote server instead of blindly copying the new file over ? What I mean is, for exemple, I would like to share some lines in /etc/make.conf among my servers (but not the entire file), but all of them aren't the same so I do not want /etc/make.conf to be the exact same on all my boxes, only like 3 or 4 lines. Is there a way to do this ? Note that I already had a look at cfengine which does what I'm asking, but it is way too complicated/feature rich for my needs. I would appreciate any inputs... Thanks in advance. Regards, Antoine
