All,
I'm wondering if anyone else fights the Apple Software Update server as
much as I? Here is a very nice and brief sampling from the service log:

I'll run a clean swupdate server, and get all of the initial updates, and
further get new updates without errors. Over time, I start getting these
error messages. So, I followed instructions to clear all of the settings
and db downloads of the swupdate service. That works, though I download
all of the updates again. I haven't had a problem with doing that; it's
still saving a ton of bandwidth.
However, I just noticed this morning that 10.5.X OS updates are no longer
listed in the Updates tab of the server admin app. I still have 10.4.11
OS updates on the newest list I just updated this morning.
Does anyone else constantly fight with ASUS?
Regards,
David
