- Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics
- to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the
- data and stores it for later use. An example of such use is the
- historical report generator which produces graphs of machine
- usage over periods of time (viewable in a web browser). Realtime
- clients are also currently being developed - one Java Swing GUI
- version and also a command line version that can run in a terminal
- window. Alerting mechanisms are being put in place to complete the
- i-scream system.

+ Java ACL (Access Control List) code has been added to the util
+ package of the i-scream server. This code will ultimately allow
+ the server to be more secure when exposed to the Internet. More
