### Status

Basic server and client functionality implemented. Crude, and far more simple
than it may appear or the length of code would imply.

Features:
* shared secret key process/privilage seperation
* call augeas API: match, set, setm, get, save, move, insert, remove
* call init.d service scripts: status, start, stop, restart

TBD:
* use /var/lib/exmachina/<something> as socket instead of /tmp/exmachina.sock?

### Dependancies (server)

* augeas configuration editing library
* python-augeas wrapper for augeas
* bjsonrpc python library

On debian (wheezy) try:

  $ sudo apt-get install augeas-tools python-bjsonrpc python-augeas

### Dependancies (client)

* bjsonrpc

On debian (wheezy) try:

  $ sudo apt-get install bjsonrpc
