Rsync, FTP, scp would work

Since these are all text files, why not keep them in a CVS or Subversion
repository.  You get the benefit of version control and can set up processes
on the disparate systems to periodically update from the prod tag of the
repository.

Subject: [hobbit] Keeping configuration files in sync

We frequently add and modify configuration changes such as cpu / disk
thresholds, adding processes to be watched and adding additional external
checks.

How do you recommend keeping these configurations synchronized?
Can hobbit run on a nfs mounted file system?
What are the pros and cons?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Right now when I make a change a scp the updates to all hosts which is time
consuming and does not provide me with the consistency that I am looking
for.

Thanks.
