from /etc/dispatch-conf.conf # List of frozen files for which dispatch-conf will automatically zap updates #frozen-files="" I'd like to have the opposite of this! I'd like to add a pc gentoo based to my subnet and set (without any prompt) all of certain services (files) selected into a list... files may be as in /etc as in /opt, /var... (like hosts, smb.conf, README, etc) Changes obliviously may be HW indipendent and safe for all pc but this is leaved to the net/system administrator. Not to the administrator of pc that only have to call: dispatch-conf now users can merge a pc into my subnet having all services properly setted doing only: eselect profile set myprofile emerge --sync emerge -uKaDv world dispatch-conf It may be very cool
to be sure that files configuration update comes from a net/group-admin (and not from a ebuild update), you can: 1- examine all the specified directory (specified in the file list F.E.: /etc/fstab and /opt/README specify that you have to search in /etc and /opt) for files named ._grp??_cfg????_xyz instead of the usual ._cfg????_xyz 2- provide a tool to create these files thak's
The opposite of this is CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, see man make.conf :)
