Of course.
But currently no massive cluster and no tiny deployment provides a way
to apps integrate themselves automatically through their
configurations. They allways have to ask users to manualy edit
configuration files.
IMHO assuming that adaquate discovery/testing has been done
prior to
deployment *users* at foocorp should never need to edit config files
at all beyond desktop/shell preferences. There are GUIs available for
just about all of these. Pretty much the same sort of tweaks users can
make to their own profiles in Windows. Now if foocorp has been running
windows w/ users having admin rights by default the transition might
be more interesting since the concept of locking user accounts down
will be err... new.
