Keep in mind though, this will not reproduce the CONFIGURATIONS, just the PACKAGES. You could try B# rsync -e ssh -a A:/etc / to get /etc synch'd, but some things (e.g. /etc/hostname) you don't want synch'd, and then there are some things in /var you want synch'd (and others you don't). This isn't quite such an easy problem. It is solvable (I know -- I do it with 6 machines), but it requires some thoughtful script construction. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
