I'm looking for good ways to handle config generation. I have been rolling my own for a few years now, but I'm wondering if there is a better way and would like to get some advice from anyone who has any ideas or experience in doing this. Here are some things I want to achieve in generating separate config files per host/service: 1. Common options shared across all configs and changed from a single place 2. Host/service specific options 3. Replace generic options with host/service specific ones 4. Some generic options may be set as non override-able Daemon features are welcome although I'm primarily looking at a daemon independent way of creating unix config files...
