Hi! I'm considering to use puppet to manage about ~50 FreeBSD servers with about ~5 jails on each of them. Is there any best practices/receipts/Howto's to do that? I'm interested on something to have new jails auto deployed and configured with some polices. Thank you! __

Patching a Newly-Built System

Does it make any difference if one adds packages to a new system before or after using cvsup to bring the patch level up to date? I ask this because it takes about half an hour to go from nothing to a bootable system via a script but it can take several hours for cvsub to update the kernel
