does something like the SUSE/Novell ntsutils (previously called "supportconfig") or Microsoft's MPS Reports exist for CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux? I mean a program that reads and exports various configurations and parameters to facilitate technical support.
The 'sysreport' aka 'sos' package does this to some extent; as SuSE and Microsoft each use a unifying tool (YAST2, and the .msc <old memories, I forget?> tools) to manage a central registry and then to 'flow' the configurations out so services and applications, the concept is more applicable on those platforms for a reporting add on; simply 'tarring' /etc/ catches the essential configuration files on RH derived systems.
