Dear Juergen,

as I didn't find the time to d/l any test CDs, I am grateful for your 
evaluation.

Here, I feel, it is not fair to "compare apples to pears": Considering 
that LWAT was developed in short time to replace a webmin module (and 
thus webmin as a whole), it deserves some positive notice that it 
covers the basic funcitons in a funcional way.

If you compare lwat to wlus and regard its youth, it gives some hope for 
the future. But it is not fair to compare lwat (meant as a KISS 
approach) to a mature user administration tool like CipUX which has 
been used by universities context for years, now. This is like 
comparing a lavvu tent to a rocky church in Göreme, or so.

Kindly
Ralf.
