I've got about 50 machines that I manage. OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, Solairs, and HP-UX. I am looking for recomendations for a (hopefully automed), prefereably web based tool to keep up with what versions of OS, OS patches, and ports are installed on these machines. Could anyone with experience using such a tool share their experience, both good and bad for such [ackages? -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)
