Hi Jonathan,
of course this plugin is very interessant and should be added to
existing LTB Nagios plugins.
Great, thanks!
The licence is a good question: existings plugins are under GPL licence.
I think this is the best for Nagios plugins, because they will rather be
shipped with Nagios than with OpenLDAP. And LTB plugins are also
included in FAN which is GPL.
Hmmm. How about a dual license - BSD and GPL?
It is a little cumbersome in the OpenLDAP world not to "follow suit" and
use BSD too...
For copyright, please add LTB-project after your own copyright.
OK.
Jonathan
