I wrote a cluster management tool for a Linux distribution that used this approach; the XSLT files generated all configuration files for hosts in the cluster from a master set of XML files (which was generated from a GUI; not created by hand; I don't like editing XML by hand). It also dealt with filling in any unique information for each host. The benefits of this approach seemed to increase as the number of hosts you were generating from a single set of config files increased. It would have been a fairly painful way of setting up one machine vs. just editing a few configuration files, but it was a pretty nice way to generate configs for 128 nearly-identical machines. --Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
