Need help on setting up Centralized Server

Hello All,

   I am working on SuSe Linux Platform. Some times ago i got an issue with an application for which i had to update that in all desktops \(SLED == SuSe Linux Desktop\).

Since this time number of desktops were less then it was possible to go and update package manually. But in coming days the number of desktops are going to be large around 1K.

So my concern over here is as follows.

1) I want to develop something by which user @ each desktop will run
command and it will list out the packages to be updated.

2) Or something like i can push the updates seamlessly to all desktops.

One thing which i am thinking is to write a shell script on central server , which will get into all desktops one-by-one and run the update command through SSH. For this i will have to have password less authentication from all desktops.

This is intranet set-up.

Any further insight or help will be much appreciated.

Thanks, :slight_smile:
