I like using make because it prevents me from doing stupid things like (for example) editing the aliases file and forgetting to newaliases. I set up make targets for the various typical tasks, and that way I know that "make mail" will copy aliases to /etc/aliases, virtual and main.cf to /etc/postfix, cd into /etc/postfix and do a postmap on virtual, and then do a postfix reload, so I don't have to remember to follow a checklist. Basically, anything that has more than 1 step involved to update the configuration, I try to add a target to the Makefile for. I also prefer CVS because I can do all the configuration editing on my laptop and then just do a checkin when I get back to network access and then cvs update on the various machines I've been reconfiguring. My personal organization preference is to have modules for mail/apache/etc with subdirectories for the various servers. jpb - -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "It's clearly a budget.
