Hi all,
In order to have more control/maintenance/management on the customized
conf files for tools/utilities of the OSes, esp. Unix/Linux based OSes, I
think to use the following method to setup these customized conf files:
1. For a tool/utility, say, pptp-linux on Debian, which has conf files in
the /etc/ppp/, create a directory under $HOME as follows: ~/myconf/ect/
ppp/.
2. Then make the corresponding conf files used by pptp-linux and stored
them in the above directory, say, for my case, as follows:
werner@debian-01:~/myconf/etc/ppp$ find . -type f
./chap-secrets
./ip-down.d/nxuvpn-route-del
./peers/nxuvpn-lxl
./peers/nxuvpn-bhc
./ip-up.d/nxuvpn-route-add
3. Make soft link of the above files to the ect/ppp/ directory.
By this method, even if the the os is crashed and reinstalled by me, the
customized conf files will still be there for re-using.
How about this idea? Any hints or notes is highly appreciated. Thanks a
lot.
Regards
