bugs:
/var/lib/zoneinfo is a real file instead of a link
general:
Add a menu to show what is still not configured. This alone
may save the day of the administrator (user). It is expected
that linuxconf will grow and grow, one day allowing dynamic
linkage with addon module. Its cute menu scheme will become
a large network where new user may get lost.
Sequential install mode.
Add a menu where the user is guided from menu to menu
to do a basic configuration. This menu will be always
available. There must be a way to force askrunlevel into
that menu a boot time. Call this an unconfigure option
which erase nothing but force the user to inspect/correct
the most important configuration option.
dnsconf:
netconf:
NIS server
diald / ppp /slip setup
inetd.conf and services management
hosts.allow and friends
lpconf:
Still to do
userconf:
crontab setup
Some special user are not shown
Can't edit the password of special users. The password setting
should be move straight in the edit field of each user instead
or requiring a special menu for it. Two new fields should be added
and a check box will let you decided if you indeed want to
change the password.
privileges management.
admin-fs:
Turning all this into a virtual file system :-)
inittab:
Management of getty and mgetty
askrunlevel:
Configuration of /etc/inittab (especially for common
task like activating a modem)
/sbin/init should be modified to support run sets where
many runlevel may be active at one. I guess it is a pretty
easy modification. It would make runlevel so much more useful
For exemple:
runlevel 1: ppp services
runlevel 2: modem services
runlevel 3: basic console getty
runlevel 4: Extra console
So full multiuser would be 1+2+3+4+5+6
Well, just an idea
fsconf:
swap setup
uucp:
Manage the crontab
Interactive test mode
Better report than what is usually available with uucp.
-Report can be sent by email every once in a while
and also saved into some log for later perusal
xconf:
xdm management of xterminal
