[Voyage-linux] Patches welcome?

[Tom Malcolmson]

Punky,

I followed your link and read about project dynamite.

I agree with most of what you have written, and I definitely agree with 
you about the importance of this.

You don't mention SNMP for the backend daemon.  How come?

Your 'large scale' point is very important.  I can easily manage a 
couple of Voyage nodes the ways things are.  It is when I get into 
bigger deployments that I need tools that are not currently available 
(as open source).

Kaboodle is an open source, cross platform, network management utility 
that has been abandoned.
http://www.kaboodle.org/
I think it would serve as a good starting point.  I quite like it's 
method of network discovery (using pcap/winpcap).  Perhaps the Kaboodle 
people could be convinced to make it dual licensed rather then just GPL?

Regarding programming language for the daemon.  I would have thought 
that writing it (or anything core) in Ruby or PHP would introduce new 
dependencies.  Whereas C/C++, Python, and shell wouldn't.

Tom.
