I have set this up for our systems here at work. I setup one machine to run cron daily as the repo sync process but have all the internal machine point to the local repository. Most have to do that since most of the internal machines don't have internet access. I use cron, wget or reposync depending on which site I pull files from. After pulling files with wget I just use the createrepo program to turn my directory into a repository and share everything via http. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
