Abouit suggestion on that "What I would like to see in a weAdimn tool", I
found a couple of good points here:


>On each machine we run an 'admind' process (admin. daemon). Now all our
>machines are firewalled correctly, 

Installation and config (light and/or complete) of firewalls

>passwords / encryption etc.

Setting up encryptation (I know there are restrictions for non-USA residents)

Now one question :  if this could turn into a general admin tool, why not
use Java (no flames, I beg !). If the tools is general/customizable enough,
and can be used by other Unix systems, Java could be a way of spreading
this code and the the Free idea.
