OCS Inventory Agent

[Jim Tarvid]

The OCSInventory looked sufficiently interesting so I installed
server, report and agent on my home workstation. My guess is that
choosing "Local" writes output files locally instead of sending them
to the server for storage. I chose the HTTP option.

"server" and "reports" installed without incident.

http://localhost/ocsinventory generates the response - 400 Bad
request.  - Your browser sent a request that this server could not
understand.

cpan SOAP::Lite - and
cpan XML::Entities will fix that.

Unfortunately, I have a lot of things contending for my time so this
one is going on the wishlist.
