Ciao Daniel Whelan,
> Greetings - I am currently looking for a solution to managing and maintaining

this is my situation & solution (not perfect but it works :-)
CLIENTs: 15 PC (AMD/INTEL) Debian 2.2 + NIS
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home$ df -h
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 ext2 197M 28M 160M 15% /

u7369b:/var/state/apt nfs 563M 242M 292M 46% /var/state/apt
on u7369b:
$ cat /etc/exports
/var/cache/apt *.matapp.unimib.it(rw,no_root_squash)
/var/state/apt *.matapp.unimib.it(rw,no_root_squash)
SERVER: RH 6.2 with NIS+, but it will be "upgraded" to debian as soon as
possible....
and I manage all the PCs with this 3 scripts (from u7369b Debian2.2):
#!/bin/sh
# sync-files.sh
FILE=$1
BASE=u7365
LISTA="a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o"
for HOST in $LISTA ; do
HOSTNAME=${BASE}${HOST}
echo -e -n "\t$HOSTNAME : $FILE : "
scp -p -q $FILE [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$FILE
EXITCODE=$?
if [ $EXITCODE = 0 ] ; then
echo "(${EXITCODE})OK."
else
echo "(${EXITCODE})PROBLEM!"
fi
done
#!/bin/sh
# sync-cmd.sh
COMANDO="$@"
BASE=u7365
LISTA="a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o"
for HOST in $LISTA ; do
HOSTNAME=${BASE}${HOST}
echo -e -n "\t*** $HOSTNAME *** : "
MESSAGE=`ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ${COMANDO}`
EXITCODE=$?
echo -e "==========" >> ${HOSTNAME}.log
echo -e "$HOSTNAME" >> ${HOSTNAME}.log
echo -e "${COMANDO}" >> ${HOSTNAME}.log
echo -e "$MESSAGE" >> ${HOSTNAME}.log
if [ $EXITCODE = 0 ] ; then
echo "(${EXITCODE})OK."
# echo -e "$MESSAGE"
else
echo "(${EXITCODE})PROBLEM!"
# echo -e "$MESSAGE"
fi
done
#!/bin/sh
# sync-shell.sh
BASE=u7365
LISTA="a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o"
for HOST in $LISTA ; do
HOSTNAME=${BASE}${HOST}
echo -e -n "\t*** $HOSTNAME *** : "
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
done
Only 1 problem with apt-get lock file via NFS...
someone has tried coda?
$ ./sincronizza-comando.sh apt-get update
*** u7365a *** : W: Not using locking for nfs mounted lock file
/var/state/apt/lists/lock
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files
(0)OK.
*** u7365b *** : W: Not using locking for nfs mounted lock file
/var/state/apt/lists/lock
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files
(0)OK.
*** u7365c *** :
