[Kde-kiosk] copying to new machine

Why do you need kiosktool on all machines? I have it only on one machine where 
I create the profiles and then I just copy all necessary kiosk profiles 
trough scp or rsync to the other machines. I think kiosktool has even support 
for scp but I think just for one remote machine. I wrote a little shell 
script that syncs the remote machines with the one where I have created it 
with kiosktool.
Otherwise I am not using RedHat, but doesn't there exists tools how to create 
packages from source for RedHat? I created this way my own package for 
Slackware.

I think I used something like this first, but is just out of head right now:
scp -pr /etc/kderc /etc/kde-user-profile /etc/kde-profile/ remotehostname:/etc
But maybe rsync is a better solution.

take care!
