Currently, the WPKG config has to be pushed or pulled to a server local to the PCs as I've found no way for a PC to stand-alone and get it's WPKG installs from a webserver. I already have all the distributed stuff working with shell scripts. So for instance I add a few packages to a PC configuration and then push the updated xml files. The PCs are configured to check WPKG every hour and do an openaudit scan after installing WPKG stuff (post action). So we will know within an hour if a PC got the software (take care with auto reboots). So the integration with openaudit is web-clicky stuff to build package xml files and modify profiles. Oh yeah, and one change we are making is that each host has a profile directly (one-to-one mapping of host and profile) and we added a "template" layer. this means that you can build a profile-template and then apply to a bunch of h

What's OpenAudIT? It's sourceforge.net/projects/openaudit site doesn't 
say much on what it is and how it works, and OpenAudit.org is dead.
