LINUX UPGRADERS - PLEASE NOTE. There are now some additional dependencies you will need to install using your package manager. These are screen, ssh-pass and smb-client. Details are in the pre-requisites pages. We also need to install winexe. It is not in repositories, but available for most distributions via the SuSe Build Service. Go to the URL http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ahajda:/winexe/ and download the relevant package for your distribution. Install it using "sudo dpkg -i PACKAGENAME" (Debian/Ubuntu) or "yum install PACKAGENAME" (RedHat/CentOS) and you should be good to go.

From the web interface, regardless of running Open-AudIT on Windows or Linux, you can audit Windows, audit an Active Directory Domain, audit Linux and SNMP query and nmap discover devices. Discovery will create a Network Group if you provide it a slash separated subnet (ie - 192.168.0.0/24) and that Network Group does not already exist.
