For running Software Update Server (SUS), is there a way to set up
our master OD server pull down all Apple Software Updates, and have
all our replica servers pull from the primary?

master <-- pulls from Apple
replica <-- pulls from master
replica <-- pulls from master
replica <-- pulls from master

On Leopard you can by editing the /etc/swupd/swupd.plist file. Look for the key "metaindexURL" - which by default points to swscan.apple.com.

You can change this to point to your upstream SUS and it should be
good to go.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the info. I checked the /etc/swupd/swupd.plist file and
didn't see that key. Here's what the file contains:

=====================================================
$ cat /etc/swupd/swupd.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd
">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>autoEnable</key>
<string>0</string>
<key>autoMirror</key>
<string>1</string>
<key>limitBandwidth</key>
<string>1</string>
<key>portToUse</key>
<string>8088</string>
<key>valueBandwidth</key>
<string>100</string>
</dict>
</plist>
=====================================================

Thanks again,
Don

Try adding the key yourself. Keys that aren't recognized get ignored, so it
won't harm anything to try. Just add these lines before the closing dict
tag:


   <key>metaindexURL</key>
   <string>your.server.address</string>

My apologies, I should have mentioned the servers are all 10.4.

10.4 OD servers don't have that key, but 10.5 OD servers do.

Thanks,
Don
