Indeed, but a good start might be looking at CIM/WBEM[1]. Evaluating |
| 6 |
sblim might be useful, it's meant exactly for our purpose and I think |
| 7 |
its worth a thought. The only real drawback at this point would be the |
| 8 |
need for a python CMPI ( it would enable to write python providers for |
| 9 |
cmpi) and this needs to be written in C/C++ which I cannot do. |

BTW: You may find this approach totally oversized and useless but I |
| 15 |
consider the fragmentation in administering different linux distros one |
| 16 |
of the biggest roadblocks for linux as it prevents leveraging existing |
| 17 |
knowledge. Novell will go for WBEM, there is at least interest for |
| 18 |
debian, haven't checked others. I rather like to avoid writing "Yet |
| 19 |
Another Yast". |
