rblcheck:
Very cool; I now have a working "make solarispkg" target for automatically generating a Solaris package. I've been dragging my feet on the Debian packaging; I'll probably get to that tonight or tomorrow, at which point I'll need to document the new packaged build features ("rpm -ta", "make solarispkg", etc). One cool thing that came up recently; rblcheck is in the current FreeBSD ports tree, albeit with some patches.
Trademarks:
In case noone has seen the latest NetSaint news, Ethan Galstad (the author of the fairly popular open source network and service monitoring tool) has been cease-and-desisted by World Wide Digital Security, Inc. (makers of the SAINT network vulnerability scanner), with claims that he is infringing on their trademark and creating marketplace confusion, and have insisted both that he desist in the use of the name NetSaint to refer to his program, and the domain name NETSAINT.ORG. Ye ghods. Good thing I don't use SAINT; I'd be going to the trouble of finding another security vulnerability testing tool right now because of this. Unhappy about their actions? Maybe you could contact WWDI...
