Hi
I am sorry to come up with this topic again, but
I have a specific question: When a configuration of a software package is
changed, the software has to be informed about it (restart a daemon or
whatever). I know that Linuxconf takes care of this (it is the reason why I am
using it personally), but how about COAS ? I tried to find something on the www.coas.org and developer.coas.org, but those
sites do not provide enough information ! I think one main reason why COAS does
not get attention is the lack of information about it. I looked closely (as
close as the website info allowed me to) at the design of COAS and I like it.
Can COAS activate the changes ??? I was unable to find an
answer to this simple question. Has somebody looked at the source code
?
What are the main differences between COAS and
Linuxconf ? The advantages / disadvantages of them ?
I am asking this question because I am working on a
Debian-based Linux-distribution named Gibraltar. This distribution has the goal
of being a secure and flexible firewall system only using standard components.
Now the base is working (it is reliable and secure), but it is NOT
user-friendly. Therfore I will start to write a configuration tool for the
firewall rules soon. I will definitely use a configuration system like
Linuxconf. Therefore I have to decide between a COAS and a Linuxconf module (are
there any other system like those ?). What do you recommend ?
