Hi all, i have to manage several WiFi devices that can be controlled by a web interface or telnet commands.
While i'm thinking about Behat to script configuration routines via the web interface, i'd be much more comfortable using ansible, with a telnet module. We know it's insecure, that's what makes it so interesting, and it forces us to think different about what we share on the network. Being able to push all the configurations to the wifi repeater, which connect to a Radius server for authentication, would be really nice. And thank you for the work done on Ansible :) ++ On Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at 8:01:10 PM UTC+2, Adam Morris wrote: > > > > On Wednesday, April 16, 2014 6:49:37 AM UTC-7, Michael DeHaan wrote: >> >> >> Thus what you are discussing should really be (IMHO) a OSGI module or >> whatever, rather than a telnet module -- why?
