Greetings, all.
I am looking to implement a few tools to make my life easier. I can't seem
to find any good ones pre-written although I know they must exist, so I am
toying with writing my own. I would love it if any of you would have any
info or handy hyperlinks to help me find tools to perform the following
functions.
-A DNS zone file editor. It must be CGI, allow for forward and reverse
entries, and able to handle odd mappings (IE IN MX 32 mail.foo.bar, etc).
-A Cisco config builder. Preferably in CGI, but command line would be
acceptable as well. Basically something that allows me to make changes in
routers and either mirror them on a lot of other routers, as well as
displaying stats and other things in a pointy-haired-boss-friendly manner.
-Any kind of scripts designed with the abuse administrator in mind- IE log
parsers, Code Red automailers/procmail scripts, etc etc.
All of these tools would be preferred in a GNU or freeware form, but I am
interested in all valid options.
Thanks in advance for your time.
