Hi,

We have a number of solaris environments (mixture of zones/containers & servers), and have the same user on each one that owns/runs the application software (Oracle db & app server).

What we want to do is have the same environment available on all the servers.

What is the best way to do this?

Ideally we want to avoid having to .profile scripts on each environment, and have any changes available on all.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be gratefully received.

TIA, Steve

NFS mount a disk with a common script.
each profile on every server has something like
where remote mount has remote_path NFS mounted from one box.

The other choice is to use rsync on the master box and have it keep the master .profile_common file synced with all of the other servers' local copies of the .profile_common files

Either way you maintain just one file that subsequently gets executed everywhere.
