Ambush!

[Jamshed Kakar]

Hi,

I've begun working on Ambush- the SNMP trap listener.  If anyone can
think of a better name let me know.  jbailey had suggested the place
submarines send distress signals- subpac.  Doesn't have quite the same
ring to it as Ambush. =)

Anyway, so far I have little to speak of.  Basic build environment is
in place and the beginnings of a server.  I'm working in C++.  I want
to cook up a simple server that will listen for UDP packets and print
something to the screen when it receives said packets.  The key at
this point is to figure out how I can write a server that is testable;
I'm using CppUnit at present and think I've figured out how I'd like
to organise the code such that it's testable.

I haven't committed any of my code to CVS mostly 'cause it doesn't do
anything useful and also because I don't think I have access to the
repository.  jbailey- can you make me a "Developer" on savannah?

I have lots of questions that I think may simply answer themselves or
be determined by whomever does the most coding. =) Things like coding
style, which libraries we should depend on and so on.  Not a big deal
right now.

Anyway, will keep everyone updated as to my progress.  I hope to have
something basic that works and is testable within the next couple of
weeks.

Thanks,
Jamu.
