Well, its just an idea at this point, I haven't actually written anything yet. All the script would do is grab whatever changes need to be made from a central server (using scp), and then do whatever needs to be done with them. If I need to place a Perl script in /usr/bin on everyones machines, the script would simply scp the script to /usr/bin. If I needed to install an RPM, the script would download the RPM and then install it. Nothing too fancy. Right now, I'm leaning towards creating a central apt-get (or yum) server and packaging up any changes into an RPM package. Chris
