hey, this looks really useful.
looking at the readme, it needs fping and tcp_scan, both from the satan
program. debian already has fping, but no tcp_scan - how are you going to
do that? package satan, or just extract the tcp_scan binary from satan's
sources?
it also needs perl CPAN modules Time::Period and File::Df which aren't
packaged for debian yet...
(imo, the "correct" way to do disk space monitoring on remote systems is
with snmp anyway)

seems right to me.
