this behaviour is planned for the future. Assigned QA to jturner I wonder if you are still working on this issue. A couple of months after I submitted this feature request you changed your redhat network policiy. (Anonymous login is now longer allowed, Only one account per user is free). You have a service, Red Hat Network Software Manager, which you now try to make money out of. And it is ofcourse nothing wrong with trying to make money on a good service like this. But I wonder if you now have ditched the plan on making an up2date server available? up2date has the potensial to evolve into something great. Consider this scenario: You are an administrator and have been given the task to install the newest lyx version on thirty (30) workstations. This is not a difficult task, but it is time consuming and VERY boring. A true linux hacker would ofcource made some scripts in order to get rid of the boredom. It would be great if up2date could be a management tool were you could deploy and upgrade software on all your computers. What about beeing able to do a kickstart installation from an up2date server ? We know that linux is on it's way into schools, universities and public administration. These institutions don't have thirty workstations like us. They have hundreds. A powerfull deployment tool would easy and motivate people to try linux I think. Bug ID 42654 should also be considered.... Best regards, Vidar oh.. this functionality exists.. it just costs LOTS of money :p https://rhn.redhat.com/overview_workgroup.pxt (take a look at the "proxy" section) Tommy |
