Sorry, should have included this comment in the last message..  Now that
it's mentioned, I think I remember hearing about cfengine in one of the
tutorials I attended at LISA.  I think I remember the instructor
characterizing it as having great potential even though it lacked in
implementation and/or robustness at that time.  Regardless, I will take a
look in to it, because I do remember thinking it was a good idea when I
heard it before.

Thanks for the tips...
