[Shu-cdromlan] Metering software

[yangs]

Hi, everyone:

Thank you all for the responses. I will take all your recommendations and
report to the list my findings. I run a Novell server and Zenworks has some
metering function. I wonder if anyone ever looked into it. If someone is
running a Solaris box to server large number of CDs, I would love to know how
it works.
