Now you need to write a script to run from a central server. The script will need to run through a list of systems you want to install the package to and run the command given above. You will also need to either pass the password as part of the ssh command or setup certificates on each system that does not require a pass phrase. You can get that from other threads on this list in the archives or from ssh documentation. The only other thing you need to do is configure yum on each system to point to the mirrors or repositories you use for loading software. You should also configure yum to run via cron so it will auto update the packages you have installed. Or you could control this via a similar script as described above. -- Scot L.
