I need a solution
We're starting to deploy some appliance-only environments and are very interested in hosting LiveUpdate files on an appliance. It's been pointed out that there is an existing Samba configuration section in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file that seems tailor-made for this. Unfortunately uncommenting it and restarting the samba service doesn't really buy us anything - we'd still have to hit every client (UNIX & Windows) manually to configure them for access first.
Is anyone else running LiveUpdate through an Appliance and if so, what config steps did you go through ?
