I’m afraid I don’t exactly know what kind of “management” you want or need. Primarily, run-time configuration of FreeWRT is done using ssh and standard Unix configuration files and fwcf (the special configu- ration filesystem we use), although there’s an experimental webinter- face. Since FreeWRT is not, primarily, a ready-made “distro” but an Appliance Development Kit, there’s nothing preventing you from put- ting a management layer into it (you could even contribute that to the project). The stock FreeWRT images don’t use any kind of management because they target people knowing what they do and actually wanting to use the Unix shell for configuring. Actually, run-time configuration is avoided in favour of build-time configuration if possible, even. You could use something like clusterssh to manage FreeWRT systems already with no required effort. Maybe someone else has a closer idea? (Maybe someone who knows SNMP.) HTH & HAND, //mirabilos -- FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much *much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh _______________________________________________ freewrt-developers mailing list [email protected] https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-developers
