see history for old info !


Thanks for cleaning this up!

Your comments are on my todo's list ;-)

Can you confirm that ipdiscover works on your install?

As I used 3 PCs to get ipdiscover info, I didn't test only with SME enabled.

Try the following:

ipdiscover eth0 10
Important.png Note:
Usage : ipdiscover [iface name] [latency in ms]


Here's what I got on my server:

<IPDISCOVER>
<H>192.168.0.100<M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00100.mydomain.com</N></H>
<H>192.168.0.253<M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00253.mydomain.com</N></H>
<H>192.168.0.254<M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00254.mydomain.com</N></H>
</IPDISCOVER>

Sounds like it's working for me...

ipdiscover looks to be working here also, maybe it was operator error ?

Draft steps for deployment

wget http://www.cacert.org/certs/root.crt
cp root.crt /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/cacert.pem

copy cacert.pem to the client ocs folder

deployed a file, optional, run a client update, it should show as notified in ocs

when you delete a package, ocs complains, but it deletes the files anyway, document later
ERROR: Can't delete directory /opt/inventory/ocs/download/1194356189
