promising configuration tool (!?)
With all that talk about better configuration of Debian, has anyone checked
out linuxconf from Jaques Galinas (http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/linuxconf/)?
It is licensed under the GPL, has a http, curses and command-line interface
(a X11 interface is under development). In addition it has an API for
dynamic linked modules.
Here is the feature list:
* System time, time zone, CMOS clock.
* LILO management.
* Basic networking configuration (IP numbers and net mask) of the four
Ethernets adaptors.
* IPX interface setup.
* Static routing. Default route.
* Filesystems (/etc/fstab).
* Routed daemon.
* NIS client (ypbind).
* NFS server.
* PPP client configuration and activation.
* Users and groups.
* The named daemon. Yes Linuxconf provides a friendly interface to configure
and maintain a DNS. Check this out!
* Sendmail. Check this out!
* Fire-walling (Packet filtering).
* RARP setup.
* IP Alias setup.
* UUCP management.
Now doesn't that look very interesting? Since linuxconf is written in C++
it might even be possible to link/merge it with dselect for package
management!
MtFbwy!
