> - Export a central /var/cache/apt via NFS or similar I think this sounds like the most practical idea. Two responses clarified that the security team is more concerned with people *providing* mirrors of the updates, as opposed to private copies, but I think I'd still rather avoid the 'ls -lR' that I would need to do (since they certainly don't provide an ln-lR.gz or rsync access). Thanks for the help guys! Ross Vandegrift ross@willow.seitz.com
