updating lots of servers

[g***@superb.net]

Hello all,

Is there any other simple way to track many freebsd boxes other than the =
one in the handbook?

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-lan.html

I want to be able to push the changes from a development boxes to the =
other boxes... like In openbsd we can just make a big tarball in the =
development server, copy it to the orher boxes and untar it.

I don't really like the idea of using nfs in the development server that =
has all the source code for many servers.

Any ideas?

thanks :)

Hi,

Is there any other simple way to track many freebsd boxes other than the one
in the handbook?

quite some time ago I read this article from the guys att xs4all.nl who describe
how they do keep their farm up to date with a combined PXE/Rsync/TFTP/etc.
environment:

Hope this helps.
