LMS (LAN Management System) is a package of applications for managing LAN networks. Its main goal is to provide the best service to customers, as seen in large ISP companies. LMS is written in PHP, Perl and C and can use MySQL or PostgreSQL as its database backends. The following functionalities are provided at the time: customer database (names, addresses, phones, comments, etc), computers inventory (IP, MAC), simple financial system suited for network operations, financial balances and invoices, email warnings to users, automatic billing schedule, ability to generate (almost) any kind of config file (ie. ipchains/iptables firewall scripts, DHCP daemon configuration, zones for bind, /etc/ethers entries, oident, htb and more...), visualization of bandwidth consumption per host, request tracker system (Helpdesk), timetable (Organizer). Initial components of this software were invented to aid administration of ASK NetX (amateur computer network) and it's still developed and tested here. LMS won't replace administration skills. If you can't handle installation and configuration of your system, you likely won't manage to adjust LMS for your system. In short - administration of UNIX systems is needed to operate this software.

Further emails should be sent to address lms-en@lists.lms.org.pl. In order to effectively report bugs or new ideas, it's recommended to subscribe mailing list, where you can get quickest response for your problems from either LMS users or developers team. There's also Bug Tracking System available, when you can report bugs upon registration. Reports from BTS are also forwarded to mailing list, so the best practice is to subscribe to list, report via BTS and send link to mailing list and finally wait as your report will evolve. BTS address is bts.lms.org.pl. Newest version of LMS can be downloaded from CVS repository utilizing WWW interface at here, or with CVS tools (anonymous access, empty password): cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.lms.org.pl:/cvsroot login cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.lms.org.pl:/cvsroot co lms cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.lms.org.pl:/cvsroot logout Information about changes and version history of LMS is included in Changelog. There are questions appearing periodically on lms mailing lists about adding some funtions to LMS. Matter of payment for support is very difficult. Note, that there is no company behind LMS, so any commercial adoption or support should be discussed directly between You and involved developer. You are reading english version of documentation, it's likely that you are not from Poland, which makes even simple things like issuing invoice or money transfer complex. The most experienced developer in that matter is Alec. You can see details on support on his page: http://lms.alec.pl/index.php?lang=en
