Hey there, 
I maintain the lids packages for the debian distribution and I am working on
a lids-configurationtool so this becomes more easy to manage for users.
What I want to know is, is it allowed to have a configtool, which modifies
initscripts and configfiles owned by other packages?

so long...

David
