Under cvs I would have a release for each instance eg release server01, server02 etc obvious and clean (you'd have to manually keep your release names correct, bit of fiddle see: cederqvist) eg server01 == /etc/hostname 1.12 server02 == /etc/hostname 1.13 but later server01 == /etc/hostname 1.19 server02 == /etc/hostname 1.13 James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
