placing /etc under RCS control
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hey all.
In order to better manage configuration changes, I have decided to place
/etc/ under control of RCS. Naturally, doing this means that write access
is removed from most files and 'co -l' is needed in order to edit them. I
have placed the /etc directory on my local workstation under RCS control
and noticed no problems, but before I do that on my remote server I would
like some input from the community. Have I overlooked anything? Does
anything in /etc really need write permissions? I have seen the Id fields
in most files in /etc/. Can RCS be made to read these fields? If so,
how? What about recursively placing all subdirs of /etc under RCS
control?
Input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
