chroot + ssh concerns

[Lev Lvovsky]

Many thanks for the link - the doc basically addresses some of our  
issues.

The decision to go with a pull system instead of a push system is  
something we'd discussed.  However, since the outage of the push server  
in our case wouldn't be catasrophic, and would allow for simpler  
administration, we've decided to at least go in that direction in the  
beginning.

cfengine might be what we need unless we decide to roll our own.

thanks again,
