Well, I basically want to install/update the packages without needing to have /usr/ports mounted on each machine (since some are on other continents and NFS isn't known to be working very well over high latency connections). > Since you are talking about installing packages you must have root > access on all of the machines so you will have to allow root logins > via sshd.

The homepage is promising BUT the tool is a major security threat: RCMD_CMD Command to use to connect to remote machines. The command chosen must be able to connect with no password to the remote host. Defaults to rsh Now I don't think I'll want to have SSH root logins without passwords on webservers.
