I've been setting up a private pkgng repository to push software to a famil=
y of about 20 different hosts.=20

One command software deployment is pretty awesome, so I got to thinking: wh=
y not go one step further and start pushing configurations for each of thes=
e hosts via pkgng as well (either by putting the config files into the init=
ial software pkg, or via a separate pkg that installs only the configuratio=
ns)?=20

Has anyone else tried going down this rabbit hole? If so, what has your exp=
erience with the system been? =20

Thanks
