I am sure similar facilities MUST be existing on unix and linux OSs. Since
I
have not worked extensively with these in enterprise envirionment, you
guys
must enlighten me on the subject.
*snip* So many distros... its difficult to propogate settings from one Linux system to another.... But then if you give it some thought... you could: 1. Make a daemon in C (I think redhat has one called rhnsd... it updates the system... but I dunno how exactly it works) 2. Make a clever Perl script. 3. Use rsync with a little Perl glue thrown-in in a subscribe/notify pattern.
The third option will require moderate hacking and will prove to be a good one. Does anyone else have anything better up his sleeve?
Warm wishses,
Amol Hatwar.
