There’s a great IT hardware/software inventory system out there called AssetExplorer, which supports Windows, Linux, and many SNMP-enabled network devices transparently.

But it does a piss-poor job with BSD (aka “real Unix.”)

Supposedly they’re working on a release that will, but that doesn’t help me now with a shit-ton of BSD boxen to inventory. So I wrote a set of scripts to serve as a stopgap until the fine folk at ManageEngine get off their collective backsides. Not perfect, subject to revision at any time, and covered by my standard “It works for me; hack away ifen it don’t work fer you.”

AE BSD Client 1.0.0.0.0.0.0 etc.
