ipdiscover: no automatic election

[mar.mack]

Version: 2.0rc2
It's seems there is not automatic election of computers for ipdiscover...
It's necessary to force it to make it working...

Ipdiscover-util.pl don't offer do do it by command line.
It's necessecary to use GUI.

Hi,

What is the type of OS you want to be automatic ipdiscover elected ? We found an automatic ipdiscover election bug with Windows 7, *BSD and other Linux distribution. The bug will be corrected soon and wil be integrated in the next 2.0 RC3 release.

Kind regards,

I'm using Windows Xp, Windows 7, CentOS 5.5 and MacOS X 10.6.6
At least Windows Xp, Windows 7 have the problem...

I have to complete my tests under CentOs & MacOS

Hi,

We fix the issue at revision 661 of the ocsinventory-server stable branch : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ocsinventory-dev/ocsinventory-server/stable-2.0/revision/661 . It will be released in the OCS 2.0RC3 release.

Ipdiscover now uses useragent instead of the OSNAME for automatic election. This will prevent this kind of problem with OS with different and sometimes exotic names in the OSNAME field.

Thank for your report :) :).

Kind regards,
