Like I said, it's not necessarily _fair_ but these are the criteria that myself and others apply to administration tools. You think you've got it bad? Hah - just think about how the poor compiler writers feel - nobody looks at their stuff until it implements the _full_ programming language. :-) > So, what is the minimal set of tasks that should be implemented in a test > version of admin tool, before you (or someone else from the team) will > consider it "nice AND worth pursuing" ...? It should take over at least one important function currently filled by another (insufficiently sophisticated) tool. One example might be adduser/deluser/edituser functionality. Another might be an rc.conf editor/merge utility. Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
