This is typically the kind of the things I'd like to get under way. I have some machines running out there which do not need my supervision all the time -- but I hate to spend 1/2 hr on the phone every so often, explaining to the local 'administrator' how to use 'vi', and set up ppp accounts, etc... It would be great to have "mainstream" admin. tools and logging (PPP logs, syslog, UUCP, etc...) available under X (or at least menu-driven). I was about to take a look at Tk, but if you've got better suggestions, I'm willing to try and work in this direction. -- Phil -- - [ regnauld@tetard.frmug.fr.net / +48.8N+2.3E / +33 1 4507 9391 / Sol 3 ] - - [ regnauld@freenix.fr / FreeBSD 2.x / ] - "Le schtroumpf est à l'homme ce que le bleu est au billard" - F.Berjon
