Anyone working on an NT client?
list Tom Kauffman
I'm interested. I currently run the BB/Quest bbnt client, but my NT admins would feel a whole lot better about installing it if we had the source. We're an SAP/R3 shop (AIX on IBM p5 equipment), with your basic NT infrastructure -- MS-Exchange, Active Directory, NT Print Servers, that sort of thing. SAP is now pushing something they call 'portals', using Netweaver on NT to front-end databases (Oracle) on unix (AIX) -- so I have even more NT systems to add to my monitoring.

Why? Do you have the source to Windows NT? How about to Exchange or SAP? I know, maybe Larry will give you the source to Oracle... I don't get why having the source is of any consequence... Paul

One of my colleagues is working on it. I know he's got the development tools setup that he wants to use now, and we exchanged some mail just before christmas about the message format between a Win32 client and the Hobbit server, so it is progressing. It will be GPL licensed. Henrik

Well, among other things, I'd be a bit happier about the client myself if the company name weren't so prominently mis-spelled in the past two releases. I'm assuming that 'UEST' in this header is really supposed to be 'QUEST': Wed Dec 28 12:01:19 UEST 2005. Leads me to wonder a bit myself about the Q/C on the rest of the code. Tom

Timezone should be 'EST' or 'EDT'; never seen one with a 'U' as the first letter. I could be wrong, though -- I've never looked. Tom

Thanks, Henrik. If he needs another batty (beta) tester, we've got a couple of systems we can slide it onto. We're currently writing additional tests for the bbnt client in perl, FWIW. Tom

Assumptions are a funny thing... LOL, that is some funny ish...I seriously doubt they'd stick the name of their company in the middle of the date. It's probably referencing they are using Universal EST or something like that. I've never heard of that, but I'm guessing that the UEST is not because they misspelled Quest. Paul

I would guess that UEST refers to US - EST, as there are different EST zones, relative to UTC time: http://www.worldtimezone.com/wtz-names/wtz-est.html Although, I can find references to WEST, AEST, CEST, and even EEST, I don't see much mention of UEST: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/ Whoever coded that output should probably make it say UTC or GMT...or maybe it pulls it from the systems locale settings and that setting is incorrect.
list Tom Kauffman
Yeah, I just did some looking around -- and I can't find 'UEST' as a time zone. We've got 'EST' (Eastern Standard Time, North America, UTC - 5) and 'EST' (Eastern Summer Time, Australia at UTC + 11, Eastern Standard Time, Australia, UTC + 10) and 'U' (Uniform time zone, military (US?) UTC - 8). I'm going from this site: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/ But the field IS the time-zone field on the headers from the *nix systems. I wonder if we'll see 'UEDT' next year, since Indiana has decided to get back into the "change the clock" game. I'd still like to see the source . . .

My management (even the director was curious about this) asked for the same thing, do we have access to the source for the Windows client. So you are not alone there. We told them no, were allowed anyway to install the Windows client, over the objections of some of our security and intel team. :) Fortunately, the intel manager is an old UNIX guy :) Al

I think UEST is Universal Easter Standard time. I don't know exactly when, but sometime in the spring.
