[TriLUG] OT - Help merging multiple files into a single file

Andrew:

Sending a word of thanks for your suggestion to my problem.

I ended up writing a script that ran the diff command against a master 
sudoers file and compared against each of the other 200 or so sudoers 
files on the other servers. The script wrote the output to a single file 
which I plan to review by hand and then generate a new master sudoers file 
to place on all the servers.

Thanks again for you suggestion. Regards,

Howard

What about something like:

cat * | sort | uniq > /tmp/newsudoers

(UNTESTED but I would expect it to work)
