really interesting.. it's a replacement for ldirectord, isn't it?

I'll pay attention to it tomorrow (after some sleeping), thanks for the links

as I have said previously, my perl is inexistent, and for high performance 
test, I would prefer some C programs like the nagios one... and the 
flexibility of custom checks as I don't think my checks could be reusable in 
other environments...
