Hi, I'd like to put my servers' config files in cvs to make it easier to manage (yes, I know about Cfengine). I've been looking for a tutorial and I could find any, and since I'm not a CVS guru, I tried a few things, without even knowing if I'm doing it right. Any hints?

I do intend to sort out a more integrated, multi-system setup using either CVS or Subversion in conjunction with rdist from a central configuration management server at some stage in the future but for now RCS does what I need. Have a look at the attached dump from our wiki, might be of use to you. http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/8416 Will. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
