version controlling our configurations

Just like I would be nervous without backup, I'm nervous that our
configuration files are not (yet) under version control.

I'd prefer that we use e.g. Puppet or Chef (I'd like to try Puppet
because of the knowledge around me, but am flexible if you are a Chef
du jour), but until we get to that, I had a quick-fix idea.

Because /etc contains a few passwords, I don't want to put this on any
open systems, and we don't have that many systems (yet) to have a
dedicated backup/config cluster (or whatever is the solution there.)

What if we use a local git repo on linode01.ovirt.org, then do a
checkout on each of the other hosts so root can locally update the
repository and push to the master on linode01? Trusted admins can have
a clone of the repository locally (on their encrypted partitions, natch.)

Good? Bad? Have a better solution for now?
