This is a stupid man's Unix management :)</p> <p>Do you plan on running that script from cron each day ? Or do you plan on eventually configuring ntp for the boxen ?</p> <p>Your poor man's configuration management solution would be to use a tool such as <a href="http://dssh.subverted.net/" rel="nofollow">dssh</a> or <a href="http://clusterssh.wiki.sourceforge.net/Main+Page" rel="nofollow">Cluster SSH</a></p> <p>However what you really want to do is look into a tool like Puppet and instruct puppet to "Configure NTP on host X-Y-Z"</p> <p>There's a great article from chromatic about Puppet and Luke over at <a href="http://news.oreilly.com/2008/08/luke-kanies-wants-to-modernize.html" rel="nofollow">O'Reilly</a>, you might want to check it out .</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/708#comments dssh ntp puppet Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:57:59 +0000 Kris Buytaert 708 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
