Problem is that there's an institutional reluctance to run it in that way - it's done right now as a "push" configuration. So I would like to find something that can validate in a read-only way and send alerts when things are a little off. While I'm at it, I'd also like something that can keep a database of all of the packages installed on all of the servers and let me do queries against it... don't want to write it if there's already something out there. --Russell > nate > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >
