rconfig simplifies configuration management by allowing administrators to organize and distribute configuration files across multiple machines through rdist trees.
One thing that sets this software apart is its priority system, which gives files in more specific rdist trees the upper hand. In addition, a basic setup would typically comprise a common directory, as well as an optional directory for each machine to override any files in the common area.
Remote configuration with Rconfig demands passwordless root RSH/SSH from a host with direct access to the rconfig basedir. However, it is important to note that target machines will only require rdist, not rconfig, to be installed. Overall, Rconfig is a user-friendly software for managing configuration files across heterogeneous groups of machines.
