Make esniper working on eisfair

“eisfair is a Linux based server system with the main target of easy installation and easy usage. It is the result of a fragmentation from the partner project fli4l which is a Linux based router system. The installation and the usage does not need Linux skills and is with simple and – very important – consistent tools possible.

Intention is the installation of an internet server with the main focus on the applications and services and not the operating system itself.”
