Hello ipguy, there is the webmin clustering that I believe will allow updates across the board but I don't use the clustering so I can't say for sure. Chapter 48 of the Webmin Book states: ...how to use the module for installing software packages on multiple systems concurrently. However, I don't know if this means webmin itself. I have seen this issue hashed out before on this ml. Hang around and maybe you will get lucky and Jamie will give you the answer! HTH, David.
