[ale] Using RHN Satellite to deploy a standard firewall: recommendations?

[Chuck Payne]

Jerry,

I am using spacewalk, the open version of Satelllite, scripts you can
use to put in place your firewall script, I am not doing firewall, but
I am using to use it to install a mysql with a version of mysql, so if
you don't mind doing a bit of bash or perl script you can use it to up
the box.

The configuration channels are great for boxes that have already been
develop, it not as powerful as say puppet/chef but it useful.

Satellite 6.0 is suppose to have puppet with it, so deploy config
files will be easy.
