       PQ> Radius has some slightly better nodelist parsing ability.               Yeah, but also seems to have added a lot of bugs. Radius is doing a really       bad work on compiling/analysing the flags in the nodelist. Argus compiles all       the flags -- Radius added this stupid user flag limitation or what I should       call it, that Mark already has stated what he thinks about. :)               PQ> biggest advantage is the treatment of semaphores: having both a        PQ> dedicated directory, and the ability to add custom-designed semaphores.               Indeed. But on the other hand, us batch file phantoms can probably do with       just one semaphore file exit, can't we? With an 'EXEC_NOW.OK' flag file that       causes Argus to execute 'EXEC_NOW.BAT' (as I've made it now) wouldn't that       actually be enough?               PQ> Argus by another name, by your hand, could a Good Thing. 8-)               Thanks. I'll at least make sure it'll be 100% backwards compatible -- Mark       convinced me of that.               PQ> P.S. When the time of general introduction of IPv6 comes, I will be        PQ> switching to Linux.               Negatory! You'll hang on to the good old Argus family, by then IPv6 aware,       you hear!              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
