Yesterday, in the OSU colloquium, "cfengine" was referenced. It got my attention because it was in the context of managing large systems of computers. This morning I checked it out and found an interesting article in the Linux Journal on using cfengine to manage security settings.
Basically, cfengine allows you to keep the configuration of multiple computers in perfect sync with each other--following the change once, change everywhere philosophy. It looks like a useful tool, and I'll add it to my list of things to experiment with when I have time.
