How can you steal a free software?
Anyway, what are the pros of Cfengine compared to Puppet, in your opinion?
I = if
Do you know I one can add a new host for monitoring to openNMS via some sort of API?
I find LDAP more useful for storing data about "end-user" of our systems, like usernames, email accouts, quota data and such, and not that much useful for storing the actual server configurations. But there could be something to it...
Do you log into the machine to emerge? Look at puppet for that...
Nope, a Slackware user, and on those servers I manage every software that interacts with external world (clients) is compiled from source as well as all the required libraries. But hey, I might be getting lazy just by not posting this from some Slackware shell telnet client, but from - you have guessed it - Ubuntu
"Brings them in configuration..."
For monitoring? Or for other things also, like configuration management?
Eh, has Linux server administration really come into this?
Nope, it hasn't. But I did ask the question in the first place to check if I was missing something. Scripting is fun, love it, but doing everything from scratch (althought I am fan of it, as it gives me the knowledge and total control) is a bit time-consuming. So, if there is a simple software with nice web and API interface for this, and with the ability to create custom scripts which do the actual work, I would like to know about it.
