(mark, special thanks to you for taking down these useful notes!) i'm interested in implementing at least some of this functionality using perl, if enough of you regard this as a useful tool for system admin. otherwise, i'll put it on the stack of things to do, when nothing else has to done ;) how do you think about it? -- christian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
