While I'm definately interested in the statistical reporting, I do have
one suggestion:
Add a random "sleep" time to the update.
Otherwise, the reporting server is gonna get HAMMERED once a month,
assuming this project gains any kind of momentum.
A random sleep timer at the beginning of the script over (for example) a 3
hour window could make the load bearable for the checkin server. Just
something to consider.
To be totally honest, 'load n the checkin server' isn't something I'm
terribly worried about ... right now, we are at ~200 hosts checking in,
from various time zones (see http://bsdstats.hub.org/bsd_statistics.php
for countries that have checked in so far) ... so, even at month end,
taking into consideration time zones, I don't expect a major hit ... now,
if we get to 10's of thousands of hosts, which I'd *love*, then I may
worry, but by then, I'll have a Dual-Core Dual CPU server in place that I
can move the whole thing over onto ...
IMHO, its going to be a slow ramp up over a long period of time, but, as I
mentioned earlier ... it has to start somewhere, and we've accomplished
that ... now to get everyone actually checking in, now that will be a feat
to see :)
I've also contacted folks @ NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD about
participating ... again, our aim is to show that the *BSD camp is a market
to look at, not just a group of hobbiests ...

I've now committed v2.0 of the 300.statistics periodic script ... this one
adds the device reporting that we'd talked about previously, and the
summary reports now reflect the driver(s) in use for those deciding to
report ...
This Phase of the script is optional, and not enabled by default ... I
can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to report it, but just in
case someone feels it poses a problem, its an opt-in report ...
pkg-message updated to reflect the extra line you need to add to
/etc/periodic.conf:
monthly_statistics_report_devices=yes
I've written it to report driver + chip= information from pciconf -l,
since even pciconf -lv doesn't seem to use card= ... the summary report
will be extended next to show both vendor and chip statistics ...
Let me know of any problems ...
