Later on, I synchronised the machines with rsync. The only difference between them was a symlink: /etc/machines/local -> /etc/machines/$(hostname) All the files that differed went into /etc/machines/*/ and were accessed via links to /etc/machines/local. I still do not get this client/server tool with secure authentication all done with custom code. NFS and ssh can do the work. Have fun inventing wheels. :-) Richard -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
