samba - Aug 2008 - wpkg for Samba

Hello List,

This is very much so Samba related but I'm sure there  are several
people here this would relate to. wpkg is a nice add on to Samba that
allows you to mass install Windows software to Windows clients machines
as they log onto a Samba server.
Today's offerings.
 I have made a simple  binary rpm that installs all of the needed files
for both server and client. Thought this may be of some good to someone
here. If there is any interest, I'll post the url to download from. I
know most folks here like to roll their own. It's worth checking into
for sysadmin trench diggers, like me:).

Take Care,
Barry Cisna

Gary & All,

Here is an URL to download wpkg.rpm. ( i386 binary,should work on any
recent Linux distro),This will install all needed server and wpkg-client
files in one easy click:). This creates a dir at ;
/home/samba/wpkg
Once installed drill into this dir and view the readme-wpkg for server
setup &
/home/samba/wpkg/wpkg-client/INSTALL-wpkg-client_silent-install.txt on how
to setup clients/Windows machines . These are condensed readme's ,just
trying to give pertinent info for a quick startup.

  ftp://eazylivin.net/server/wpkg/


(View the README at the url for some simple info.)
You can download the RPM-GPG-KEY here and import into your yum.repos,if
you so desire to avoid the " Package is not signed" when trying to
install
the rpm. Not necessary though.

For more detailed info check out:
  http://www.wpkg.org

Hope this helps,
Barry Cisna
