I'm not sure if there is an equivalent for FreeBSD, but it would be a nice addition. Webmin does allot of this functionality as well if you haven't taken a look at that. To start a project like SME all you need to do is start hacking, and provide a web based community for it so that others are aware of it and possibly start helping out. Because they are both *nix based operating systems you may be able to start by porting the web manager from SME to FreeBSD 5.4 +. --Nick
