Software Update Service on Tiger

Hi, I'm setting up a tiger server to serve software updates to the clients, but the server doesn't seem to want to serve the updates. The client can connect to the server, but then shows the user a message saying the computer is up to date. I know that is not true, and I have all the updates mirrored, so why is it not working?
If nobody has any idea, is there somewhere that says exactly what the software update client goes through to check if there are updates available, so I can follow it manually?

Thanks

Do you have both the Intel and PPC updates available for the clients?

I'm not sure. I didn't see an option for that anywhere. I'm just mirroring anything apple throws at me (using the auto-mirror option).

Hm. 10.5 Server should hold hte updates also for 10.4 clients.
10.4 clients will be able to see any 10.4. updates, not 10.5.
Are the 10.4 not seeing the 10.4 updates?

-- doh, Tiger server. Never mind, I need more sleep. That will do all 10.4 updates but won't serve 10.5 updates...

Is any of the 10.4 machines running less than 10.4.10?
There hasn't been any proper software updates for quite some time now...

They're all running 10.4.10, and some definitely have uninstalled updates, as when they're pointing to the official software update server it shows several updates available.

both check boxes are checked on the SUS for every update right?

also, 10.4 SUS will update 10.5 clients - it's been working for me for a few weeks now.
