My notes were not necessarily more detailed, but I did jot
down a few other tidbits, which might help flesh out things.
(I'm not the authoritative source for any of these, so please
feel free to extend or correct my comments where appropriate,

It's "shrubbery", not "shruberry"  (although that *is*
how it was written on the overhead :-)

distributed net management GUI tool, from U Wisconsin.
I think this was the one that was described as "not
addressing, exactly, what we're discussing here, but
a neat tool for delegating portions of the network
responsibilities"

I guess you all already know this, but this is a tool
for generating graphs from text, from AT&T

FWIW, I was confused by this tool's name (and thought it was
"netdoc").  The name comes from NETwork DOcumentation Tool,
and more info is at

There was also a reference made to Trey Harris' paper,
probably from the previous LISA, which discussed a different
way to look at configuration, with validation.
