A new kernel is available that corrects some random remote DoS. How do I get all 1300 machines to pull down the new AFS modules? More complex: How do I get 1300 machines to download both the new kernel and AFS modules together? Assume that we cannot allow a machine to reboot between getting the new kernel and getting the new AFS modules. (This equals broken for me.)
