Hi
[...]
My opinion is that the most software installed on a host should be
inventoried, and therefore we should find a way to list dhcpd and pf and all
software that is installed as a base application on OpenBSD.
I don't know if there is a tool to do it.
This is an OS packaging problem. How *BSD handle a security update on a
"base" component (like pf for example) ? does the wall distribution have
to be updated ?
In a second time, I think that we should think about doing an inventory of
some applications that are not to be treated as "software", bus as specific
sorts of applications : like web applications (apache vhosts, tomcat apps),
databases. This applications could be then linked to the accurate plugins in
GLPI.
The idea behind it is that, with such features, the agent could be a tool to
give a more deep image of an infrastucture during an audit.

We already do that kind of inventory (using the software script hooks).
We add a prefix (JAVAAPPS@ ) on the application name and add some other
infos as key/value in the comment. A cleaner way to do that would be
nice :-)
The problem is nearly the same for databases :
- the software : version, patch ...
- the instance : a db process listening on a port and handling connections
- the database
