Does this mean that we need a Jrun Admin GUI?   possibly linked to the CF Admin
page?

I still advance the theory that if you want to sell it, you had better make it
Admin friendly.

Using Government networks as an example, where network priorities are clear and
in writing, the programmer/developer is nowhere the top of the access control
lists.   The server Admins are not programmers, not java programmers, not CF
programmers.  They are more focused on Security, intrusion prevention, and
uptime.

For the developer who has a one or two machine "network" with a developer
edition installed, it is a no-brainier for him/her to tweak it to the max.  In
order to get tweaks looked at on a government network, you are talking about
weeks to get a minor change implemented.  In the event that the tweak fails, or
there is a problem with an updater application, you are likely to find your
server software removed from the machine with advice to "Use something else"
sent to your superior.

Macromedia themselves are another example of what I am trying so hard to
express.  They do not incorporate their own technology on their own servers
until long after the product has been in the market place and beta tested by
their customers, if then.

If full disclosure was adhered to in the documentation, I am quite sure that
sales would drop off considerably as large networks, and multi-homed service
providers avoid your product , favoring instead one that gives them less
problems.

Your statement that this represents only 1% of the installations, absolutely
does not fly.

Perhaps you feel this is not a genuine concern, I am getting that message loud
and clear.  But if I am forced to develop in PHP, Java or ASP which installed on
the server without a hitch, I assure you it is a concern to me.
