Hi Guys,

I have just setup a Netsus on an Ubuntu VM, all appears to be ok except that the SUS server has not downloaded anything newer than 10.5.8 in terms of OS X updates, it has the latest Remote Desktop etc weirdly...

I have tried to have a look at the reposado.plist in /var/lib/reposado but the file appears to be empty even if I am ssh'd in as root. Anyone got any ideas? When I click manually sync as well it seems to do nothing... I am not quite sure how to clear the current info and re-download which is what I wanted to try next...

NetSUS 4.0.0
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

    @Treger you can re-create the preference file using the Reposado utilities. The command is:

    repoutil --configure

    You can find more about the preference file here: Reposado Preferences

    Ok, I have managed to run a manual sync and see what the terminal is returning:

    Error 23: Failed writing body (7400 != 16384)

    Apparently this means this happens when a piped program (e.g. grep) closes the read pipe before the previous program is finished writing the whole page.

    So it looks like the catalog urls are not up to date:

    <key>AppleCatalogs</key> <array> <string>http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/index.sucatalog</string> <string>http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/index-1.sucatalog</string> <string>http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog</string> <string>http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog</string> <string>http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog</string> </array> <key>CatalogEntry</key> <dict>

    I will add the extras in and hopefully that should resolve the issue.

    Also we are hosting this on a VSphere setup, it would appear that everytime we install the VMware tools 24hrs later we cannot log into he web page, has anyone else seen this before? I can get to the server via SSH with both users that I have changed the password for but the web refuses any user and password combination.. anyone got ideas on that one?

    Ok, I added them and I am still getting this:

    Downloading 144248215 bytes from http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/43/03/031-59868/8d6teum08j79eess3yq76s73hbla2a5w28/CLTools_Executables.pkg...
    Could not replicate http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/43/03/031-59868/8d6teum08j79eess3yq76s73hbla2a5w28/CLTools_Executables.pkg: Error 23: Failed writing body (0 != 7240)

    Although now it has created the catalog files for the higher OS X catalogs but still seems to have no write access...
