Hi,
I've been running cfengine on about 50 Mac's running OS 10.3 (Panther)
for at least 6 months now. We also have lots of mixed distro linux boxen.
Various forces have aligned as to push the cfengine Mac deployment to
the top of my todo list. BTW, I work at a university. I would guestimate
that we have 200-400 Mac's to deploy to.
I'd like to hear the experience of others who have done mass-deployment
of cfengine on Mac's before.
These are unmanaged Mac's. Most were installed from an image, but no
management hooks are in place now. apple Remote Desktop/remote login is
not an option because it isn't enabled on most.
The Plan:
The plan is for myself and an handful of co-workers and student workers
to touch each machine and install cfengine. Installing by hand on the
command-line isn't really an option because of the skill-levels
involved. I plan to create a Mac-installable pkg file that can be
double-clicked and will perform the install.
I'm looking for any advice that anyone may have, from creating the
package to deployment. We have a working set of cfengine inputs, so that
isn't a big problem. I also have a working cfengine rev .14 binary. I
figure that is well tested and I can upgrade later.
I don't currently have any Intel Mac's, but has anyone played with
cfengine on any of the new Intel Mac's? Has anyone create cfengine as a
universal binary? Any advice on these things would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason Edgecombe
