You must also realise that some people don't have motif, so that this
doesn't affect them. There is also the "static" motif option (i'm guessing
here...), like the gimp-smotif package, is there not?
I would like a front end to ipfwadm, as I have no idea how to use it... I
haven't spent my customary hour reading docs on it yet...
Here's another question, is there a usermod frontend? For example, setting
groups and things?
