Product Description:

A suite of Unix command-line tools and a server designed to remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines. For Mac OS X, there's also a graphical interface.

At its core, radmind operates as a tripwire. It is able to detect changes to any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. However, radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a change is detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change.

Each managed machine may have its own loadset composed of multiple, layered overloads. This allows, for example, the operating system to be described separately from applications.

Loadsets are stored on a remote server. By updating a loadset on the server, changes can be pushed to managed machines.

Also available is the Radmind Assistant, a Mac OS X Cocoa frontend for the radmind tools.

What's new in this version:

* exclude patterns apply to transcript lines. * Mac Package can be installed on any volume. [Feature Request #2025217] * Add -e to ktcheck and lapply to allow changing the event type that is reported to the radmind server. [Patch #1951140] Thanks Karl Kuehn of Stanford University for the patch. * Automatically convert paths between absolute and relative paths based on the path given to fsdiff. [PATCH 2020818] * If path doesn't contain a directory, canonicalize it by prepending "./". * Added -T option to lmerge to merge only transcripts, not files. [Patch #2014521] Thanks to Eric Garver from the University of Michigan for the patch.

i've used this for 7 months now now to deploy our software to our lab-machines. it took some time to learn in the beginning, but after that it worked like advertised. it makes live so much easier.

Tyaris Major: it doesn't delete stuff on the server-side so you can downgrade to any former state of your system. i am lucky as i didn't have problems with the portability so far... it works in our lab with 1 ibook g3, 1 ibook g4, 12 emacs g4, 9 (different) powermac g4 and 8 powermac g5.

I've been using radmind for a while now and it's made my life so much easier. I can manage any number of clients without a second thought. Best part is, this great product is free, has good documentation and a helpful mailing list.

Keep up the… - Version: 0.9.3, 1/24/2003 05:14PM PST
