Linuxconf? </me shudders> That died a slow, horrible death back in the 7.x days because it was unmaintainable, IIRC. I know it had a *nasty* habit of messing with config files that you hand edited, and rewrote some config files when you weren't expecting it to (IE: Try to edit a user and linuxconf hosed both sendmail and apache as an added "bonus"). You really want that particular monster to rise from the grave? I will give linuxconf some credit, without it I never would have learned how to hand edit config files. To be fair, I continue to shun the current crop of gui-tools as much as possible to this day. Many of the current gui tools keep their real configuration files in *other* locations, often as (compressed) .xml files, and overwrite any hand-edited-in options they don't understand, even perfectly valid ones. -- Chris Kloiber Red Hat, Inc.
