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

impatient people see http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?id=1079

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

	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...

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

[root@kiwi more]# ipdiscover eth0 10
