Package: Otto
System name: otto
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

The purpose of this project is to develop, document, and integrate Win32 
administration and automation tools into a flexible collection. Initially, this 
will amount to nothing more than collecting the homegrown scripts many of us 
use daily and have been sharing and refining together on such mailing lists as 
nt-admin (http://www.topica.com/lists/perl-ntadmins ) and perl-win32-admin 
(http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/). No magic silver bullet, but hopefully 
an iterative process toward something better.

The choice language of implementation is Perl, but may be overruled where 
appropriate by the prime directive: \"whatever works\". As such, tools and 
libraries will be built on top of existing libraries available in the CORE Perl 
distribution or from CPAN such as Win32::OLE.

Initial deliverables will target auditing reports and remote administration for 
common tasks involving:

o  machine hardware and configuration
o  workstation and domain: user, group, and machine security
