cool! thanks for the quick response. i'll try it in a few. so if previously installed i don't need to specify a package and it should detect based on the inventory. if it is a new rpm i have to specify a name. in a widely distributed net with hundreds of nodes is there another way to do an install of a new rpm without remoting to each? thanks. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: seth vidal <skvidal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > On Wed, 2007-10-10 at 18:24 +0000, garrett.allen@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > after the network guys punched holes in the firewall all is well in terms of > obtaining access to our site-local repository.
