I don't really like the idea of enabling root login on all my machines. Would it be possible to use another user (like patchmgr)?

They will need sudo with no password to install and manage updates. On Mar 21, 2015 2:15 PM, "RazarF" notifications@github.com wrote:

Still, a user that can "only" install software is better than root.

Agreed. I will look into this and this will be my second priority. On Mar 21, 2015 2:29 PM, "RazarF" notifications@github.com wrote:
