[cobalt-security] Slightly off Topic- PKG files

["Gareth" <garth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It has been a long while since I have used a Cobalt admin interface, but at
the time to install updates you needed to go to a Cobalt page, find the link
to a pkg file, then go to the interface and paste the link and click go.
Wouldn't it make much more sense if the interface could show a list of
suitable pkg files to download when the admin requests it? This would save
the problems of admins who have better things to do than check a web-page
every day? Maybe the cobalt box could actually scan the page and send an
email to the admin if there is a new pkg file?
Ok, so if someone could sniff near the cobalt site, they would get a list of
IP addresses of cobalt boxes to attack, but it would be a start (and very
unlikely).
Comments welcomed, maybe someone at Sun would pass them on as I don't see it
would be too difficult to implement into a will written system (it is a long
time since I fiddles with the source code as well).
