Hello Every One,

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question. But please help me with your ideas.

I have got a work (proj) where i need to customize the RHEL OS . This would involve building packages, installing them , correcting privileges etc and all these task have to be done by script (Shell script).

The idea is to customize the OS with using shell script and put in a central server and client server will fetch the updated OS from network.

I need help in this regarding how to proceed and what all things might get involved in the same.

Please extend your kind help.

Thanks,

where do you need help? please be more specific... and show us what you've done and what needs to be done.

Till now i have not started on this .. I need to know what all things will get involved in this project .. i mean what all things i will have to do ... so that i can plan my work accordingly.

Please advice me on this.

Thanks,

how can WE know what is involved? all we know is that you plan to add packages and correct privileges. this tasks can be easily done with a script...
from what i know it is YOUR work to make the plan on what needs to be done?!

if you need help with the script to roll out your updates, just ask...

I'd advise you take a look at the Puppet Project. That should do most of what you need, however, I'd advise you to read the documentation thoroughly instead of asking how to set it up.

You may also want to look at SamHain for making sure your policies are as you would like and to ensure integrity of the system and packages.

Google should find you what you need.
