We're managing about 30-40 servers and equal number of workstations, ranging from 5.2 to 7.2 beta, using cfengine (www.cfengine.org) and autoupdate (search freshmeat). Autoupdate keeps all the systems current RPM-wise of a local ftp repository, and cfengine can be used to synchronize configurations and perform basically anything you want in a central fashion. This has been in use for 2.5 years now. It has some limitations, but has proven to be very effective if one compares that "each system is an individual". -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
