Ooh looks intriguing... I only brought up web stuff because I am 30 miles away from the unit.. it has no monitor, etc. I find Xoftware to be rather sloppy doing Desktop and app running, although it has a nice Web plugin to access X resources via a regular browser. I've seen Webmin.. I have mixed feelings really.. It's probably because it looks like it may do some stuff behind the scenes that could throw my stuff out of whack.. I don't necessarily do things RIGHT always, but I do it so it WORKS.. Webmin would have been fine if I installed it when I put the machine on. :-) May just stick with editing the things by hand.. the machine is pretty much mine aside from it running DNS and a few other servers. But I'm open to interesting ideas to try out. I will definitely look at this SFI Director product. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange, Bangor Maine USA http://www.droo.orland.me.us PGP ID: 409A1F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
