Write a remote configuration utility called 'rconfig'. This initial
implementation is very basic and designed to be convienient. It allows a
CD user to scan the network for configuration servers, download a
configuration script based on a tag name, and execute that script all in
one simple command. Running the rconfig server is just as easy... you
basically just run the server -a -s and put your scripts in
/usr/local/etc/rconfig/<tagname>.sh and you are done.
Of course the scripts themselves have to be written and can certainly become
quite complex.
In order to use rconfig from a CD Boot at least one network interface must
be properly configured. The dhclient program is usually used to accomplish
this.
