Some advice: using CVS to do config management

[Graham Leggett]

Hi all,

I am trying to use CVS to do some version control on the configuration
files on some machines that I have. I am trying to set up a pserver
based CVS server that the machines would check their config files into
via cron on a regular basis.

I need to know the best way of checking in the config files to CVS so
that no human intervention is involved with the day to day running of
the server. Basically an entire directory of files needs to be checked
into CVS without any special CVS action needing to be performed if a new
file is added or created to any of the directories under version
control.

The manual has confused me a bit on which function I should be using to
do this - Is "cvs import" what I looking for?

Regards,
Graham
