OK. I was recently asked for some older version of VMS, so I put the V1

Subject: Re: [HECnet] CSV Proposal
OK,
Here's a really quick draft of what I'm thinking, feel free to add your
thoughts
The parseable info begins with ".BEGIN-HECNET-INFO" and ends with ".END-
HECNET-INFO"
The following columns must be present and named in the first line of the
parseable block:
- ADDR - DECNET address of host
- NAME - DECNET node name of host
- OWNER - Person who owns the box*
- EMAIL - Contact email for the box's admin*
- HARDWARE - What hardware the box is running*
- OS - What operating system / software stack the system is running*
- LOCATION - Textual location of box, optionally long/lat info in some
sane
format*
I would suggest one small change. Location should be two fields. One is the
textual description of the location, and one is the lat/long. Both optional
of course. Would need a specific format for lat/long so it is standard and
can be plotted on a map.
Regards
Rob
The fields marked with an asterisk can be left empty but must be present
in
the header.

If you look at http://rhesus.sampsa.com/cgi-
bin/hecnetinfo/hecnetinfo.com?q=chimpy you'll see what I mean, there's a
clearly defined block of machine readable CSV at the end.
How many people followed that though?
No idea - I don't think anyone ever wrote a parser.
But here's a brief outline of how I think this should work:
1. Someone (=me) defines the CSV format formally in a document
2. This document is passed around and corrected until majority is happy
with it
3. Someone (=brian) writes a parser
4. People nominate boxes from where their INFO.TXTs should be pulled
(one can cover a whole area or even more)
5. This is integrated into the DB using the parser from 3 periodically.

Ideas? From what I can determine, FreeBSD 9 ships with libpcap 1.2.1 (at
least as of a year ago).
I never used TUN/TAP on FreeBSD...I always added extra virtual NICs and used BPF there.
