We really need to find a way around this issue that doesn't involve manual maintenance of routing info. Perhaps an agreed-upon entry in INFO.TXT ? That's still manually managed, but it's managed by the individual link owners. INFO.TXT where? I won't be able to fetch it from the cisco. :) The "SHOW DECNET NEIGHBOR" and "SHOW DECNET ROUTE" commands are both non-priviledged. Perhaps we could allow a 'trusted' network mapping daemon the ability to get a remote console on the Cisco and execute and parse these commands? My plan is to try and get the info via SNMP or the alternative was a non-privledged account doing, well, pretty much that right there. :) I have a bit more work to do until I'm ready to tackle the cisco issue though. Hang tight. -brian ps: I've used my freakin' brain (hey, it's been known to happen!) and separated the data collection from the data processing in my code. Now I don't have to wait 15 minutes for it to walk the network every time i change something. The data collection code is pretty solid at this point and it's the processing code that's getting the workout currently. This will speed up development TREMENDOUSLY.
