config management: rb3 and configtool
rb3 is a program for managing configuration files, using a single set of data and templates to generate configuration files for multiple computers.
configtool is a program for deploying configuration files on to a host. configtool and rb3 are integrated, so that configuration repositories prepared with rb3 can be deployed with configtool.
We distribute these programs from the sysdev team free software page.
abr
It is often not appropriate to place secrets, such as passwords and private cryptographic keys, in one's main configuration management repository. abr allows the system administrator to declare metadata about secret-containing files in abr.conf(5). abr(1) will then guide the system administrator through deploying the secrets to the right locations with the right permissions. abr-sub(1) performs simple templating for cases where a secret needs to be inserted in an otherwise non-secret configuration file.
abr(1) can be run in monitoring mode, where it will report on deviations from the declared state, such as missing secret files or wrong permissions.
dropto
Privilege-dropping exec()er in the spirit of setuidgid, but with
supplementary group membership.
