Checked sf for existing iventories:
H-inventory
OCS-inventory

Checking the SF site, some more interesting projects are:
Unattended GUI: unattended automatic installs
Zenos: Enterprise Network Monitoring / Management
Ophcrack: ...

Example script of user who imports users and classes from csv file.
Is nice to check which Moodle functions should be used to import data. We should actually make something like this for our client who wants to sync with his LDAP (I think AD).

Idea: maybe we should once test a javascript optimizer on the Moodle sc. Idea is to just translate the code in less meaningfull names so http traffic is minimised.
Minify javascript

damn, I thought I set the server time of a client server but probably the ntpd is not set properly. Checked ntp documentation to find how to set the proper sync site:
service ntpd restart
Make sure to set timeserver in /etc/ntp.conf

With yum you can enable repositories with yum --enablerepo=development update clamav
dependency problem with glibc:
yum --enablerepo=development update glibc-devel
yum --enablerepo=development update clamav
still dep problems but that is strange because the wanted packages are installed?
Updated mysql, php, httpd. Finally did a complete yum update
