Just to mention that 'etckeeper' from EPEL is a great way of tracking changes in /etc. It interfaces nicely with yum, such that installing a package means that it will commit changes to the /etc repo. And there's a daily crontab that commits changes. You can manually commit changes as well. Then you can 'git log -p' to see what changes were made to the file over time. It won't track /var/named/* though. Paddy -- Paddy Doyle Research IT / Trinity Centre for High Performance Computing, Lloyd Building, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland.
