- No, but I do have a few ideas. I suggest we start small:
- 1) Make an adduser command suite.
- 2) After that is in the tree (it's be nice!)
- we make a curses update that you can use if you want (like
- SunOS 4.1.1 that I know of).
- 3) Eventually we move to a system a lot like smit under AIX, because
- I think it is amazingly cool!
-
- Note that alot of sysadm tasks require services to be started,
- stopped, and restarted. AIX looks good here as well, but the
- mailing lists can't seem to agree on the best way to do this
- here.
-
- Something tells me that if somebody went out and did a fairly
- decent version of a smit with the abovementioned scripts,
- it would be a win.
