I
would recommend using some form of version control system, to give you the
ability to track changes that may have caused problems (and roll them back if
necessary).
We use
perforce, put I see no reason why this couldn't be achieved by any other system
for example cvs or subversion.
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,
