that's great to know. We'll do the same then.

there's python-pysnmp-se in NEW now, which is the speed-enhanced version
of pysmnp v3 (if you want to use that, README.Debian describes how to do
it). It seems to be stable, too. twistedsnmp is in NEW also.

Even more interesting: are the .conf files changed byt zen while it is
running? Then they wouldn't be allowed in /etc.

I think I rewrite that stuff, using one shell script and a number of
links. At least there's only one manpage to write for them, which saves
a lot of work.

The package will have a
Provides: system-log-daemon, linux-kernel-log-daemon
Conflicts: system-log-daemon, linux-kernel-log-daemon

which should remove sysklogd/... while installing.

I'm still a bit confused, I thought I need the client to send messages -
or is zenoss able to listen for pager messages? Didn't look into that,
but I guess I'll install them and have a look.

winexe is a patch from http://eol.ovh.org/winexe/
Unfortunately it contains one file with a big binary blob. I doubt
that's something we can ship in Debian at all. I don't even know what
that binary stuff in there is for, I guess it's a windows binary. But I
did not look further into that now.

did you figure out why? And what is needed to fix it? If you do, please
let us know.


Thanks a lot,

Bernd
