A week or two ago someone mentioned something about using their own home-grown RPMs for managing config info on their boxes.
this is a really really bad idea. I'd suggest you dont waste your time around this and instead work with projects like chef / puppet / bcfg2 and look at those to manage what they do - config and state.
I second that. All the listed options are great. If you want to manage configurations on a server, use something designed for configuration management. Using RPM to manage configs will probably leave you with halfway broken machines and no clue about what we wrong.
