I've found that cfengine2 is a reasonable way to handle a lot of these problems. I to a debian upgrade and my my cfengine2 scripts run off daemon or cron.d within minutes and "fix" whatever debian packages have done that I don't like. I've also got another approach I'm working that relies on specially burned locked down update images on CD. That way the debian package upgrade never need occur on the actual appliance. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Dale Amon [EMAIL PROTECTED] +44-7802-188325 International linux systems consultancy Hardware & software system design, security and networking, systems programming and Admin "Have Laptop, Will Travel" ------------------------------------------------------ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
