As I already posted, there was already an effort to outline an admintool.
If you are going to do it right, you have to keep in mind, that there is
never only one way of doing it right.
Most admin/configuration tools tend to not be enough powerful or to restrict
certain common ways of administration. This is bad if there are more than
one person working on the same system. The admin tool will conflict with the
hand made changes. A proper solution is very difficult here.
However, if you only want to write a little tool "for the beginnings", with
some common tasks done automagically, thismay not be your concern.
But perhaps it is just better (and more efficient) to write more and good
documentation, instead of more and bad code...
Just my 2 cent on this.
