I need a program that will communicate over tci/ip with clones of itself running on remote machines. The requirements are as follows: - The program will act as both client and server. - It will transfer data that is gathered over IPC from other programs on the same machine. - The application level protocol is very simple and well documented an will be provided to the chosen coder. - The program should be configurable (trough a config file and command line options). - Optional authentication and SSL data tranfer should be supported. - The server part of the logic should log certain events. - The code should be architecture and OS independent (should be POSIX compatible).
