Re: [Netdisco] NetDisco on CentOs-3.x or CentOS-4

[<br...@ne...>]

Thank you both Max and Robert for your help.  The resources you provided
proved to be quite useful.

Unfortunately, because I'd already spent more time that I would've liked
on this particular server, I decided to abandon the dream of stock CentOS
rpms and bite the bullet and use apache 1.3.33 instead.

As I type this, I'm doing a macsuck on our Residential network (which
should be pretty boring as this was the last day of exams :-D ).
Everything seems to be working quite nicely.

Again, thank you to those who took the time to respond to my initial
query.

And thanks to Max and all the Netdisco contributors.  It's an awesome
tool!
