I would like to use ADA instead of Perl to log into machines on our network and check various things (kernel versions [we have our own rolled] and security checks) for our clients. I work at an isp and webhosting company (of a nice size) and would like to login with login information (which i already have in a system i wrote) via SSH. Installing software on client computers will not be an option :) I am new to ADA, but it seems like an awesome language. Much easier to read and understand what is going on than most other languages I know (including Python). Would like to move from Perl for most of the core company software needs to Ruby or ADA. I was told I could use C libraries and call methods from them from within ADA. Is this true, and if so, could I use the existing openssl/openssh libraries to implement SSH in ADA? That seems like too much work and why not just use Perl (best tool for the job/time?). > > -- George SOAP over HTTPS does sound good though for data transmission over secure channels. Only used plain bare XML for data and meta-data, nothing more. Guess I should look more into it ;)
