rsync has the ability to exclude files/directories. You can sync /etc/*
and exclude master.passwd, for example.
If you are pushing addon programs across your network,though, you would
probably be syncing /usr/local/*. It shouldn't hit any of your password
files that way.
I was going to quote the man page for rsync, here, but rsync isn't
installed on this laptop i'm using.
Here is a snippet, though, from rsync on one of my servers:
(from man rsync)
Here are some exclude/include examples:
o --exclude "*.o" would exclude all filenames match-
ing *.o
o --exclude "/foo" would exclude a file in the base
directory called foo
o --exclude "foo/" would exclude any directory called
foo
o --exclude "/foo/*/bar" would exclude any file
called bar two levels below a base directory called
foo
o --exclude "/foo/**/bar" would exclude any file
called bar two or more levels below a base direc-
tory called foo
(end man rysnc)
There's a whole lot more in that man page, you may find that it does what
you need.
