RE: {bb} Synchronizing bb-hosts



I’ve never synchronized bb-hosts in the nearly 10 years I’ve used BB. The client really only needs to know where BBDISPLAY BBPAGER etc are, not where all the other clients are.

Importance: Low

 

Big Brother is great for small networks that do not change very often.  As the number of hosts increases, however, it becomes hard to maintain each bb-hosts file.  What is the best approach for synchronizing bb-hosts on all clients and servers?  Is there common approach, such as rsync, cron/wget, ftp?  Ideally, I would like to make updates (1) occur only when changes have been made to bb-hosts on one of the clients or servers, (2) overwrite older versions, leaving newer intact, and (3) be as short as possible from initial change to final update.

 

Thank you,
