and i thought that NLPOS9  was supposed to do such things completly different. 
Whats about uploading new image with sec update installed (you can do delta 
image)? There is also utility to do same basic maintanence utility to 
configure boxes from AdminServer.

Anyway i will be very happy if you share how you are using NLPOS9. It is quite 
important for me ;)
