Hi, you might have a look at apt-dater[1] (part of unstable [2]). It is uses SSH to retrieve package informations from client hosts using public key authentification and uses sudo to call apt-get/sudo. It is a ncurses based CLI, but it has a report function to retrieve distri name & version, kernel version (and check if a reboot is required), package versions etc. as a XML file - so you could do anything with the result.
This work very well for us to keep around 100 hosts up to date. [1] http://apt-dater.sf.net/ [2] http://packages.debian.org/apt-dater Cheers, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-security-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
