Re: Inventory Tools

["Erik Luken" <eluken () pentarch org>]

I've gotten Spiceworks to work over a LAN.  Though I do not recall it giving 
the keys.

A couple of the machines on my network did not respond to spiceworks, and I 
was never able to figure out why (though I did not spend an inordinate 
amount of time attempting to figure it out).
