* Get an http or ftp daemon working on one of your machines. * Set up an rsync job to download the available RPM's for your machines on a regular basis. * At the tail end of that job, run "yum-arch /path/to/rpms" * Make sure your /path/to/rpms is accessible via http or ftp * Add the relevant URLs to your /etc/yum.conf on all client machines. * "chckconfig yum on && service yum start" on your yum client machines. That is the most basic way to get auto updates going on all your machines. If you want to get into pseudo-pushing packages out, you want to Google the yum mailing list archives to figure out how to make a yumgroups.xml (easy) and probably update your daily cron job to do something like "yum groupinstall mybundle". It's easier than you think. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
