You have a good idea there, and you are lucky that a solution exists. Put your config files in cvs (or hg or svn). Last time this came up someone said they had a cron job to push the latest committed configs out to the machines periodically, which eventually helps you remember to check in your changes. ;-) -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
