i searched lot of archives and was reading the man pages of cvs/cvsup. i
need a way to central manage the config files and optionally the installed
ports/files for about 60 servers (4.4-4.6) which i manage. ~50% of them are
somewhere in europe the rest is local here. would like to have at least
encrypted authentication, even better would be encrypted transfer. at the
moment this stuff runs nightly via authenticated https, but i would like to
reduce the traffic and only distribute changed files. the actual running
script i made for sure checks some things to not transfer to much at the
moment, but there must be a better way. is there anything better then
cvs/cvsup or should i go with these ones? till now i am not really sure
about the cvs authentication. in one part of the man page authentication is
described and in another parts it is mentioned that there is no
authentication. i would like to build up a tree like
ROOT
|- server1
|----- files for it
|- server2
|----- files for it
|- server3
|----- files for it
.......
and want to restrict access to the server1 dir for server1.somewhere.dom
with authentication. the problem is, that some of them have dynamicly
assingned IP addresses and the only way to get then is with the nightly
running script whichs fetches data from the main update server.
