I wanted to get some feedback to see what other people here use to manage their CentOS systems, apply updates, roll out new software packages, update unique config files etc.
Lee, There is a project that was started back in the RH 7.3 days to reproduce an open source version of the server side of the RHN. This project made it to the point where it would allow clients to register and pull updates from it and that is pretty much where it stuck. A new maintainer has taken over the project and there is plans to implement client status tracking, and client management.
You can check it out at http://current.tigris.org/ and help out if you want.
I used to use it to maintain a hand full of servers and a couple desktops until RH dropped support for their Retail versions.

Thanks to all who have replied so far.
I am currently utilizing yum for package management and updates from my own local repository, and.. so far it has worked quite well
What I'm really looking for is a way to keep all my apache v host configs and other unique files synchronized across all the machines.
As well as just managing them over all, rebooting, updating a specific file or permission, keeping the passwd files updated etc. Having one shared FS would be ideal, but nfs is not an option.
cfengine and radmind look very promising, should I have the time to fully read the documentation :)
This thread has been extremely helpful so far, so thanks again.
