The rdist
package can be used to update files on a
collection of hosts from a central host. This is what I do from
Alpine (101.25) where the password and group files are maintained.
On Alpine (101.25) in /root/distfile I have the following:
KTNET = ( inco punto cultus festival atomic brick prefect )
FILES = ( /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group /etc/gshadow
/etc/apt/sources.list /etc/printcap /etc/resolv.conf )
${FILES} -> ${KTNET}
install -oyounger,chknfs,savetargets;
|
Thus I have seveb hosts that are updated with seven files from alpine.
The options for install include: younger so that if the
remote host has update the files they won't be updated from alpine,
and instead I need to have a look at them to see what has changed;
chknfs so that NFS mounted files are not updated; and
savetargets so that old copies are placed in .OLD files so I
can then compare what has changed!
The command to do the update is:
# rdist -F -P /usr/bin/ssh
|
This will use ssh
to communicate and will do it serially
(-F) so that the passwords that are asked for don't interfere with
each other!
