We can't do without the script, since we need a way to calculate the priority of a variable. Hmm, unless we give each variable a default-priority and make it possible for the script to change it. > We can generate some configuration elements directly from the data-base in > some instances - ie for the simple example of the dhcp client it can get > the host list to run on directly from the database each time it is > started. Likely several other services are like that.. That's not what I meant. If someone uses SNMP to change (for example) to change the NNTP-server we should use, something needs to act upon that change to reconfigure all newsreaders to use that new host.
