  We use a mix of two tools Radmind=20
http://webservices.itcs.umich.edu/mediawiki/radmind/index.php/Main_Page

Radmind is a toll well suited for tracking changes in static configs and fai=
rly well at tracking and reverting changes on a entire working system .  Whi=
le it was targeted at OS X originally we have used it on FreeBSD , centos , t=
hen, fedora , and Solaris . =20

Also we use ansibel . Ansibel is a agent less config and system management t=
oll written in Python . It only requires Python 24 and ssh on the target hos=
ts . It's flexible and relatively easy compared to some other tools . It's a=
lso well supported on rhel/ centos and FreeBSD .=20

Lastly you can always use entr and rsync=20

https://bitbucket.org/eradman/entr it's in ports too=20
