Censoring configuration files

[Ronan KERYELL]

A meta-problem about using tools such as cfengine, FAI, JumpStart,... : many people
ask me my configuration files but they contain of course many passwords, PPP
accounts, etc. :-(

So I'm looking for a good way to automate the publication of my config
file AND censoring sensitive information...

Any idea for an elegant way ?

To add some mark-up in config files ? But not always safe for the
application ?

To add an abstract description of each file describing what to overide ?

< Insert your good idea here :-) >

Thank you,
