The various files that control package management explicitly mention centos.org as the master all over the place. Take a look at the config files for YUM. (Debian zealots, note that APT has the same problem.) To say nothing of the fact that, if the project had to fork, they'll almost certainly change the very name. > If you have lots of centos boxes, try using spacewalk, works pretty > well. When I was working at a consulting firm, a lot of our work was maintaining Linux servers, one per customer. I never had any luck adapting management tools to that sort of situation. The tools all assume strong management from a single point, which you don't have with a consulting engagement. Of course, that was at least six years ago I last looked, so things could well be different now. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
