We use an rpm package (cobbler-config per se), that has all the right dependencies, snippets, users, drops in an appropriate (to our env) /etc/httpd/conf.d/cobbler.conf, etc. yum install that guy, start the syncs and you're off (we haven't automated the syncs because of disk space, bandwidth/scheduling issues). We have versions for el4 and el5 bases. The base OS may be preexistent, or can be built from one of the existing cobbler servers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Wildman, CISSP, RHCE [email protected] http://www.rossberry.com "Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."
