Where do I find the resource kit? I unpacked the latest snapshot and started
with configure. There where no sudo and fping. What other utilities are
needed?

Indeed.
I prefer the Unix command line, so I normally install it anyway. But
most will have to install it.
The biggest problem with a Windoze client will be the inconsistency of
Windoze.
With some versions, a command is standard. With others you require a
service pack. Still others require the resource kit. Some versions of
Windoze just don't have some commands. It gets quite ugly.
I have been informed by my Windoze admin colleague that the behaviour of
commands can differ between versions too.
Cygwin is consistent, but not complete.
I now understand why Henrik hasn't produced a Windoze client yet.
Cheers
Vernon
