Consider this installation-free alternative:

This. Here's a Gentoo-specific script, which I saved as ~/bin/webd
that handles Python 2 and 3...
===
#!/bin/bash
cd ${1}
current_python=`eselect python show`
if [ ${current_python:0:7} == python2 ]; then
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
elif [ ${current_python:0:7} == python3 ]; then
python -m http.server 8000
fi
===
If it's called as simply webd, it serves up my home directory. If
it's called as webd /usr/portage/distfiles it allows access to my
distfiles directory. Note that the user that launches webd has to have
at least read access to the directories to be served.

How many routers are you backing up and what are your needs? If you have lots of them and need some kind of record, then rancid is a most excellent tools. It's also very Unixy so you get bonus points there. https://www.shrubbery.net It's a completely different take on the problem you posed in your mail. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
