No one I noticed yet mentioned ports/net/rsync as an alternative to src/usr.bin/rdist & ports/net/rdist6 for "keeping lots of systems all the same" but as I too use rdist I can't tell more on rsync. BTW I use rdist for maintaing - site wide common trees in a /site/ tree of etc usr overlay stuff reached from real /etc & /usr trees via relative (no rooted) sym links - my off site web directories - my laptop PS make damn sure you always back up the right way, easily said, but easy to get wrong, especially with a cron driven rdist, that can zap your laptop or tower in the wrong direction. EG on return from a business trip a cron driven backup of tower to laptop is a disaster ;-) Julian - Julian Stacey Unix Consultant - Munich Germany http://bim.bsn.com/~jhs/ Considering Linux ?
