A question for all Linux gurus out there: I have encountered a program called 'linuxconfig' which, on the face of it, appears to be a useful system tool. It is a curses- based program, that knows where all the various debian system files are, and allows root to modify users, groups, networking configuration and so on.
Just as a simple example, if you want to add a bunch of users to a group, you could use linuxconfig to look at the group, and type in the names of the users you want to add (yes, I know, not much saving there - it was just an example). The program will also tell you of permissions that are incorrectly set, and let you put them back how they should be. This of course hides information from the user about where the real files are that you are changing, which I guess a purist would despise. Other than that, is linuxconfig a 'good thing', or does it have security problems associated with it that one ought to know about? -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller "Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur."
