Unix/Solaris admin programs
Hi,
Im working for a company that has over 400+ unix/solaris boxes.
Obviously when we get a new unix guy join the company, its take us AGES to set them up on all these boxes.
Can people recommend any programs/packages that can be added to our unix/solaris boxes to make this easier?
Thanks in advance....
