Many, many people store configs in cvs. It's a good idea. > 2) How will /etc, and the things that read it, react to /etc becoming a > working copy, with CVS, Entries, et al? I'm thinking of things that eg > "Include /etc/appname/*" barfing on unexpected files left by CVS. One technique is to do cvs from another directory completely, with symlinks to the files you're interested in. I.e. ~/configs/etc or /var/configs/etc or ... That keeps /etc clean, but requires you to have the discipline to symlink the files you change. I'd be interested to read of different ways. -- 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
