=============================================================================

You can use this program to monitor your Bay Networks 5399 RAC Wan Utilization
Leds. I use it so I can sit at home, or sit at my desktop, and have
an instant view of what the blades I manage are doing. 

To Compile + Link, it requires the following:

	Motif Development Option (2)
	ViewKit 
	C++
	CMU SNMP (Newest version - includes the Mini-Client API)
	Redhat 5.1 or greater 

I am not including any build information here - at the moment. Simply
try a make - if everything you have setup is correct (assuming of course
my machine is setup correct) it will re-compile without any headaches.

Included with it (for your ease of running) is a static binary.

Also, the package requires you have some Bay Networks 5399 RAC's 
with known community strings.

Using 5399View:
In the directory where you have 5399View located, create a file called
"5399-hosts". In this file, enter the hostname of the blade followed
by its community string.

For example:

=====-5399-hosts=====
blade01 sample-community
blade02 2ndcommunity
blade03 3rdcommunity
======================

After creating this file, simply run the 5399View command. 5399View will
attempt to talk to each blade using the supplied community string. If it
cannot connect, it will tell you so, and disable monitoring of that
particular blade.  

I am not exactly sure at the moment what 5399View will do if its given
a host other than a 5399. Or, for that matter, a 5399 running remote 
annex software other than the version I have written the program for.
