Hi there,

since the number of my NetBSD machines is growing, I'm thinking about some 
mechanism to save bandwidth and speed up the sup process. Currently, all 
machines update the whole source tree including PkgSrc every day somewhere 
in the morning via an entry in daily.local.

Obviously this is unneccessary traffic, and it consumes much time. What 
I'd like to do is set up one system as a sup server. This machine could 
still sup the sources off the daily.local script. After it has finished, 
the other machines should update their local sources from the "master".

The two things I'm currently a bit clueless about are:
  - how to set up a sup server		and
  - how to "ring the bell" on the "slaves" once the "master" has finished 
its own sup run.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Bye, K&K,
T-Zee
