All the rug/RedCarpet/rcd combination does, basically, is package addition and removal, including dependancy resolution. If the optional rcd-modules package has been loaded, it is also possible to run scripts and gather some information about the client systems from ZLM/Red Carpet server. With or without the rcd-modules package, rcd listens on port 505 and communicates with the remote server using XML-RPC over an SSL-encrypted session. By contrast, YaST and yum do not leave anything running when they are not actually being used.
Randy, thanks a lot for all information about RC. Has anyone tried open-carpet from: http://open-carpet.org/? What are the differeneces and the pros and cons compared to RC? rcd uses port 505, would it be possible to snmp instead for doing the same thing. There is one and other explained on: http://www.linux.com/print.pl?sid=04/08/06/1948203 For example: # rcsnmpd start and # snmpwalk -Ov -v2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.2 outputs: STRING: "Crystalcursors-0.5-20" STRING: "libattr-2.4.12-56" STRING: "expat-1.95.7-37" STRING: "cracklib-2.7-1006" STRING: "libacl-2.2.21-54" STRING: "libgcj-3.3.3-41" STRING: "libsamplerate-0.0.15-140" Would it for example be possible to install rpms using snmp? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
