Buchanan" X-Sender: brian@smarter.than.nu To: freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: A GUI administration tool for FreeBSD Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've just put up an alpha release of my GUI admin tool for FreeBSD. I'd appreciate it if some folks could take a look at it and give me some feedback. Bug reports, comments, suggestions, praise, and criticism are all very welcome. :) >From the README: This is a GUI administration tool for FreeBSD, which hopefully will someday soon be something that FreeBSD newbies can use to easily setup, configure, and maintain their system. Currently, it allows root to edit user database, add new users, change user editor preferences (/etc/pw.conf), browse installed packages and delete them, and browse a list of packages to install. There's also a TODO file in the distribution with quick notes on where I want to go with this thing. If you think of something that this should do that isn't on the list, or would like to contribute code or icons (I'm a lousy graphic artist), let me know. Some info and a screenshot can be found at: http://www.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU/~brian/freebsd-admin/ The distribution tarball is at: http://www.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU/~brian/freebsd-admin/freebsd_admin-0.1.tgz -- Brian Buchanan brian@smarter.than.nu brian@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
