Michael, While things are floating across my mind... I know I've heard mention of a SQL backend for the configuration. That's pretty much a requirement for me as I need to duplicate the service (2 boxes) for that disaster recovery policy. My shared storage is AFS (mostly) which..well..likes to eat files that two servers/people are editing at the same time. And bdb just falls on its face. Who needs POSIX? I'm really using Cobbler to glue together a lot of pre-existing services: profile management, yum repos, web apps that collect/display status information, etc. Its been fun so far...now to find more time. :-) Jack -- Jack Neely <jjneely@xxxxxxxx> Linux Czar, OIT Campus Linux Services Office of Information Technology, NC State University GPG Fingerprint: 1917 5AC1 E828 9337 7AA4 EA6B 213B 765F 3B6A 5B89 _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
