OK, I seem to have made it. It was hard, damn how it was. We should
really meditate on this. Having a common block of reusable code should
be far easier than this...
Here's a summary of how
Thanks for all the answers. I was supposed to work on this today, but I
haven't started yet due to a runaway meeting :-D
Let's see what I can turn up with with your suggestions.
Thanks a lot again

Hi marco,
to pass a list you need to use list's full qualified name

Hi David
I tried to work out something based on your advice, but it seems I can't
make it work. My idea was:
- load a policy file called ntp.cf, always, and a location specific one,
say ntp_x.cf for location x;
- in ntp_x.cf, define an array which will hold values depending on the

Locally we have several cases where we want to apply different data in

Marco, try not to think modules and programming but reusable patterns.
Ask yourself how you can reduce the total amount if information in the policy.
If it can't be reduced then the complexity is real - and there is nothing you
can do, except limit the amount of info that is useless to the indi
Hi all
My ntp.cf has grown to nearly 800 lines now. Location-dependent setting
are the biggest part of it, while a smaller part (files, processes,
reports, and commands promises) is common for all locations. I'd like to
reduce its size to something more manageable.
I was considering to write a mo
