I would recommend Cfengine [1]. Unfortunately the latest version segfaults on OpenBSD, but version 3.4.0b1 still works fine. I've opened a bug report [2] with Cfengine, but no solution yet. If you want, I can provide you with the package for 5.2 (AMD64) or the updated port. Kind regards, Martijn Rijkeboer 1. http://cfengine.com/ 2. https://cfengine.com/dev/issues/1701
