  Description     : provides infrastructure for system administration

sysadm-base aka Rhino

Rhino is an infrastructure for building applications that configure,
manage, and monitor hardware and software. Rhino provides a common,
consistent, task-based, internationalized graphical user interface
(GUI), with built-in command-line interfaces (CLIs) that system
administrators can use to write scripts. Rhino applications consist of
two parts: 

- Client-side GUI in Java. The GUI runs on any platform that has a Java
  virtual machine, and it doesn't run as root or do setuid root. It can
  enable the user to perform a single task; it can provide an organized
  collection of tasks (with a built-in search mechanism); and it can
  include GUIs for monitoring the system. 

- Server-side daemon and command-line interfaces. These can be written in
  C++ so Java doesn't have to run on the server being administered. 

Rhino is the base of SGI's high availibilty solution "failsafe".
