RE: Remote Management

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dwayne,

I have been able to get PTF's I've downloaded to propogate OK using 
management central, but I sure couldn't figure out how to get it to 
propogate PTF's from Cumes.

My understanding was that it needed the PTF SAVF to pull this trick.

If I am wrong can you tell me what I might be doing wrong, or at the very 
least give me a hint as to your set up ?

Regards
Evan HArris
