My server synchronisation script looks like: rsync -a /etc/raddb [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc --delete ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/init.d/freeradius stop ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/init.d/freeradius start I run it AFTER I have already verified that the config works on the localhost, and I use ssh keys so that it doesnt ask for the password for each line... If you have different ssl certs on each machine then you will need to modify the rsync line..
