[Casper] synchronizing share points

[Smith, William]

Hi Thomas!

A JSS policy to sync? I don't know of any built-in feature of the JSS that
syncs packages to other servers.

The Casper Admin application will sync the master repository with other
repositories but that's on demand. And I believe it should include scripts
as well as packages.

Or are you referring to something home-grown?
