Well, I don't really know from personal experience, I just recalled having
found it a while back, I thought it might be useful for a project that never
ended up happening.  From the web page, it's maintained by a company called
Quest Software, Novell is a contributor and apparently uses it in SUSE SLES
10, Apple Remote desktop is listed as using it.

Makes me think it's probably pretty solid, though as I said, I've never used
it myself.
