Hello,

I have just seen some snapshots of the new SVR5 by SCO with its new
"SCOadmin" tool. With that it is possible to set up a great deal of
system specific things like printer setup, user and network (ppp, ...)
management, video configuration, sendmail and so on.

I am missing that for FreeBSD. Yes, many of you will say that this is
like WinDOS, but a powerful system like UNIX with its plenty of admin
tools and config files needs too long to set up correctly. I like the
power of FreeBSD very much but I am as well happy that I am using it
only at home and not in a huge network. ;-)

I am really sorry that I can only suggest this and not program it but
my knowledge of C is really too small. :-(
Nevertheless I hope someone will understand the point and think of
implementing it.

                 Stefan.
