Application: Sysf SYSF: network maintenance made easier: Sysf is a system administration tool designed to greatly simplify the central configuration of a network of Linux/Unix computers and make Linux/Unix even more scalable. All the system configuration files of the individual computers are archived in a common set of directories and sysf maintains this archive and the real system files. The strength of sysf is to simplify the maintenance of the system files across a network and in particular: 1) to make the system administration of a large network scalable. 2) to offer a global view of all the configuration files across the network. 3) to guarantee that some system files are identical across all hosts belonging to the same group. This is particularly important for files like inetd.conf or hosts.allow that implement some security policy. 4) to configure identical hosts. 5) to implement configuration changes on many computers simultaneously. 6) to simplify the configuration of new hosts when they are added to the network. 7) to maintain a backup copy of the entire configuration of the network.   Homepage http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/~dma0bmp Download http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/~dma0bmp/sysf Author Not Shown <B_DOT_M.A.G.Piette_AT_durham.ac.uk> Version 2.05 Licence GPL Source Yes Environment Console Status Stable We are currently updating this section of the site.
