Have you heard of Puppet?

I'm about to start using it where I work. It might take care of most of the things you're looking to do via TM. Now, if someone would create a grammar for Puppet config files… :)
I prefer LDAP for this because:
- LDAP commands are on most systems by default
- manipulating the data is just a matter of editing text
- many things (Postfix, Puppet, sudo) can use LDAP without
modification
- most scripting languages have LDAP support
So, I can use custom scripts to make things easier, but if I find myself on a system without them, I can still do just about anything the "long way". If you ever want something pretty, you could always auto-generate some HTML or Latex based on what's in LDAP. Contact me directly if you want more details.

I'm really interested in how to put documentation on the ldap server. Now I have a number of chapters each one representing a logical part of the server documentation (ldap, mail, samba) etc and custom scripts to get the configuration files updated etc etc.. Now I would also like to put images for the most common configurations to do (with the windows clients), how could I do that with ldap?
I already use ldap for the shared address book and for authentication of users, so I already know how to work with it..
Puppet is really interesting, I will give it a try! I tried the "disable gain focus" plugin and I don't get those sort of errors anymore, now it's confortable to edit files over sshfs...
