Talk:OCS Inventory Tools
see history for old info !
rpm -3 installs fine, deploy=>builds ok, /downloads is accessible
a minor point, I suggest you add /downloads to accounts db as a url next rpm
deploying =>
I think we should just ignore the activate error, the files are visible from clients
i installed a cacert certificate as per the contribs howto,
copied the domain.crt to cacert.pem in the client ocs folder
deployed a file, run a client update and it is now aware of the update, so we now wait

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
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...

looks to be working here also, maybe it was operator error ?
[root@kiwi more]# ipdiscover eth0 10 <IPDISCOVER> <H>192.168.35.2<M>00:0b:ad:a0:0a:2d</M><N>pc-00002.dom.net</N></H> <H>192.168.35.3<M>00:0d:88:44:fc:fd</M><N>ap.dom.net</N></H> <H>192.168.35.233<M>00:0f:20:fd:e1:e7</M><N>pc-00233.dom.net</N></H> <H>192.168.35.242<M>00:0e:08:da:e7:e1</M><N>pc-00242.dom.net</N></H> </IPDISCOVER>

I found this link We need to build this file!
touch /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini perl -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl))->save_parsers()" chmod 0444 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
Here's the content of generated file:

No more warning! :-D
