Yeah, in the future there will be more agents than scanner, that's why I
did it that way.  also the 'pass' line is in there to make it easy to
comment out the agent.start line, if I want to test Hep without any
agents running.

Also, I've been thinking about getting rid of the distinction between
agents and servers.  I'll probably do so soon.
