I've been working on a way to do the following things:
1) Manage Mac Mini servers through Casper
2) Automate the server configuration process.

I believe I have achieved this.

I have a script that's meant as part of a Casper Imaging workflow. It's meant to run after a mac mini server has been freshly imaged. It's configurable enough to do ... well have a look at the github readme.md file. It does a LOT! (rsync scripts, ssh keys, smnp configuration etc ...)

Script has been updated. There's been a modification to lock down the root ssh user so it can only execute rsync commands.

Released v1.1. This now works almost as expected and i'm actually using it in anger now.

See the bug list on the read me.md file for current issues.
