RE: {bb} Synchronizing bb-hosts

Thanks for the good word.  I thought I was being a good little dooby by
following the "keep the bb-hosts the same" rule.

I agree.  As a general rule, we only populate the clients with 
the BBPAGER, BBDISPLAY and the client itself.  The only servers
that know about everything are the BBPAGER and BBDISPLAY.

Not even the BBNET servers know about all the other servers.
Obviously, or that would defeat the purpose of multiple BBNET servers.

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.

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,

Mike Davidson
