Is there a standard way to remotely manage 100+ SUSE boxes? The
machines are NLPOS9, which is based on SLES9, which is in turn based
on SUSE 9.1. I need a way to remotely administer them, with cheaper
solutions being ideal.
The problem is having to individually log in and tweak things on 100+
boxes. The administration tasks would be applying security updates,
and working with files for custom applications.
I believe I can do this with two shell scripts, a "control" script and
a "job" script. The control script would copy (via scp) and remotely
run (via SSH) the job script to a list of servers stored in an ASCII
file. Is this the standard way of doing this?
Any suggestions?

However I more often then not I have a box that can passwordless SSH
into my servers and run commands over that. If all boxes are configured
identically then it works very well.
But if I was managing lots of workstations where the configuration was
different (OS too) then I think ZenWorks is great as it integrates very
well with SUSE.
