MID
The Machine Inventory Database (MID) is a Perl-based CGI interface to manage the machines on and off your network, both from the IP assignment perspective and the asset-tracking perspective. On top of acting as a frontend to a handful of MySQL tables, it handles IP assignment and acts as a frontend to the configuration files for BIND, YP, and DHCPD to reduce the chance for typos in the configuration files which tend to bring down service.

Changes: A bugfix to correct a fatal implementation within the 1.29 release that was to correct the problem with single domain systems not having the files created properly, updates to the respective SQL query syntax, and a bugfix to the insertion procedure for new and modified entries to insert the domain ID rather than the actual domain name.

Changes: Existing sanity checking has been revamped, and additional sanity checking has been created for all vital fields. Multiple typos within the CGI which caused problematic file creation have been fixed. The login screen has been updated slightly. The SNMP gathering agent has been created, but it is not ready for production. Both the defaults and settings within the Makefile have been updated, and there are a couple of typo fixes. The PLANS file and the INSTALL doc have been updated to reflect that the SNMP gathering agent is not yet ready for production. A major bug which broke the file creations when only one domain existed has been fixed.

The AUTHOR and UPGRADE documents have been updated. The PLANS file has been created for pseudo-roadmapping MID's future.
