I'm retreading here, but I haven't had time to play with this again
until
now. And with a new security update out late last week, I really
want to get
this working.
For this particular preference, you have to use different defaults
commands depending on how you're going to do updates. If you're going
to use the GUI app, do the following:
Note that there is NOT a ".plist" at the end of the
com.apple.SoftwareUpdate. To verify that your setting was written, do:
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate (again,
no .plist). If you simply do 'defaults read com.apple.SoftwareUpdate'
it never shows the CatalogURL item.
If you're going to use the command line tool (which will enable doing
the updates remotely), do:
That writes the preference only for the root user. Since the
softwareupdate command has to be run as root, that takes care of it.
