Hey all,

I'm looking to find a system which will allow me to administer multiple installs of OpenSuSE at once. As in, I would like to be able to administer packages, firewall configuration, etc, across all of the machines. I have around 20 PCs setup at the moment in a learning environment which although isn't very many, if this test goes well, I will have many more machines to administer in different areas.

Previously, I have been writing shell scripts to do what I need and then going to each PC and downloading/running them, but this can be very time consuming.

Any suggestions would be great, as I haven't yet been able to find a "package" which does what I require in these regards.

Cheers

Have you looked on http://www.novell.com what they have. Something like remote access ssh -qX -q is for quiet -X is will make possible to call GUI applications Switch to root and do whatever has to be done. While you work computer can be used for whatever purpose it is usually used. Users should not be able to notice anything, unless they look who is logged in. You can schedule Xorg restart or reboot in times when computer is not used, so updates would be transparent for users, and when you are done you can shutdown machines remotely. -- Regards, Rajko.
