wanting to keep my conscience happy, i'm trying to set a up a personal
up2date server that i can access from a single location to keep all of my
linux boxes current. here are the steps that i've worked out in my brain
that i *think* should do what i want... if anyone can fill me in on any
gaps in my strategy, please lemme know:
1. set up an ftp server on one box that's visible to the world.
i'm think i'd use proftpd and not allow annonymous logins.
- do i need to run anything special?
or will a plain ftp server do?
2. on the same server, write a script that checks my nearest
mirror for new rpms and downloads _all_ rpms i don't have yet.
- can i just do this with ncfptget?
- how do i locate the nearest server with most recent updates?
3. configure up2date on each client to use my server instead
of redhat's update server.
- how?
thanks for the help people
if there's a howto out there i'd really appreciate a link as well
