I'm pretty sure it is, as I've seen a cached reference to just such a thing (Google for 'up2date server howto'), but I can't find a reference as to what you'll need to do to actually set the server up. Client-side, you simply modify the settings in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date. A nice alternative is to use apt-get via the apt-rpm project. It is definitely documented, including a security mechanism via gpg keys. The only problem is that you'll have to install apt on your 500 clients. http://freshrpms.net/apt/server/ -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
