What I'm looking for is a management tool to be able to control updates that are available to clients (via an approval mechanism) and allow me to see which systems are patched. I'm looking for a centralized solution that would sit on/near the repository. If there are any projects that need contributors, I'd be willing to lend a hand. If none exist, I'm thinking of beginning a project. If I do that, then I'll be sure to notify this list. > > Jack > > On Tue, Feb 28, 2006 at 01:34:48PM -0500, Ryan Frantz wrote: > > Howdy, > > > > > > > > I've been looking for an enterprise-type tool that would allow me to > > manage my Linux clients akin to Microsoft's WSUS.
