I recently discovered the update_configuration utility in the Warewulf source. I think this would be generally useful, particularly as more people start using Warewulf 4 when it gets published in OHPC. With that, I suggest that the RPM spec file be updated to include the update_configuration command.
It could be distributed as-is in a non-PATH location (e.g., something like a libexec); but if we put it in *bin/ I suggest it could be renamed to something like wwcfg.
