On a related track, not to hijack the thread, but...


Has anyone had experience using any of the BMC patrol suite of things on
Linux?  We are finally getting close to a "standard build" for SUSE, the
UNIX admin and capacity planning folks insist on the Best1 agent.  When
I inquired about how went with the installation I was informed that it
required inetd, even though xined is already on the machine.  This
doesn't sound good, I'm now charged with the security aspect of this
standardized installation and I believe that I recall that inetd was
replaced with xinetd for a variety of reasons, not the least of which
were security concerns.


Does anyone have experience with the Best1 agent?  How well does it do
it's purported job? and what about inetd?




TIA

Kevin
