It's not quite clear what you're talking about. The configuration files in /etc are the official way to manage configuration. If you're referring to them as the "loose scripts", then you're out of luck for something official. For something unofficial, you might look at the sysutils/webmin port. If you're referring to having loose scripts to manage those files, then again there's nothing official. Personally, I check the files into perforce and use that to track changes and as a backup. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
