We use Puppet to make sure managed files have proper ownership, permissions and relevant services are automatically reloaded whenever files change. Files are kept in versioning on the Puppet server. file { "/etc/rsyslog.conf": ensure => file, source => '/path/to/file', owner => 'root', group => 'root', mode => '0644', notify => Service['rsyslog'], } Best, Hans
