ramon problem with argus-2.0.6.rc2

[Carter Bullard]

Well there was the idea a while back that we shouldn't
distribute argus without some kind of client, so what
about distributing argus() with just the latest version
of ra(), so one can at least read the data that
the distribution generates.

Is this acceptable?

Yes, i think removing historical versions is good.

BTW: I needed argus on a SuSe Linux today and Suse has a working rpm
of Argus 2.0.5. The admin wanted to use the rpm and we tried it.  The
ramon binary didn't support any -M TopN, -M Svc and perhaps SuSe
didn't even notice, that a second rpm with uptodate argus clients is
necessary. So please make the Argus tar archives "stupid distribution
safe" :-))
