LCFG is a system for automatically installing and managing the configuration of large numbers of Unix systems. It is particularly suitable for sites with very diverse and rapidly changing configurations.

A good overview is available in this paper. Further details are available in the FAQ and the documentation. There is also an archived mailing list for discussions and announcements. All LCFG software is freely available under the GPL. See the download section.
