I agree. But, many default config files aren't well written, or the documentation isn't well written, in which case it's nice to know what fields there are. The best, IMHO, is to have both: text conf file, with an *optional* tool like webmin. The crashing/buggy syntax problem can easily be solved with proper logging and error reporting. -- MG
