I have some diskless workstations running FreeBSD. Sure users are not
supposed to use them _every_ first day of month (ex. when this day is
a weekend or a holiday). Whould stats from those workstations be
useless?
How do machines report in? I have several FreeBSD boxes most
of which have non-routable addresses and are behind a firewall.
Can I have a "spokesman box" which reports for all? If I can
how?
The machines use simple HTTP requests using the 'fetch' program.. if the
machines have Internet access via NAT, then that should be sufficient.
If they live on a closed network without Internet access, but you have
an internal-facing server that does have Internet access, I have a draft
document on setting up Apache on that server to forward proxy to the
main BSDstats site.
It will be posted to the BSDstats site once I've finished it (probably
in about a week). If you want to help test the draft instructions prior
to publishing, email me privately and I'll provide you with the relevant
details.
Cheers
Antony
