Is this by choice or just no one has offered to contribute?

To answer Axel's what is it question.....its a Hobbit version of BB-Central,
which runs on a central server like hobbit does.  It reaches out to the
clients via ssh (or whatever) and collects data.  I did a shell script
version a few years ago and it worked good until the client count topped
25-30.  Then I migrated it to C and it would handle 60+ nodes pretty well.
Then I migrated that to a multi-threaded C process and it really smoked.  I
never did reach the limit with that version.  I think they are still using
it and adding nodes to the client list, which is prob over 250 or so.

I was going to put it out to the community but my company would not allow it
(idiots) so I couldn't.  I now work only 40 hours a week so now I have some
time to myself and was thinking about rewriting it from memory and putting
it out there.  I would put out the one that is threaded and it would prob
just be for x86 Linux, which should build on Solaris, HP-UX, etc.
