- webmin: I think it is useful (and nice) not to have to launch mozilla
to add an user or change a password.
- debconf: dpkg-reconfigure users ? debconf is there to configure
applications and I don't want to replace it at all. It is just not
suited for some tasks
- linuxconf: Marco d'Itri sent a comment I agree with (excepted for
the insecure part where I don't have enough knowledge to judge)
