Because GBAdmin makes it *VERY* easy to save a copy of your configuration before you change it, so if something goes wrong you can restore it to the way it was before.
It also makes it easy to save a copy of the configuration after you change it, so that you always have an up-to-the second backup copy of your configuration in case the GNAT Box floppy is damaged. Finally, if you administrate more than one GNAT Box, it makes it easy to copy sections of configuration that are the same from box to box. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike Benedict Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2000 12:59 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Reconfiguring GnatBox Send postings to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Access the list archives at: http://www.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ ---------------------------------- > As an aside, the web interface allows you to insert a filter at any > position you wish.

Is there a clear advantage that I am missing? So far the only distinction I have noted is that I prefer the web interface as it's authorization does not need to be refreshed. I can therefore ponder the meaning of life for an hour or two, make a new change and not be told my connection has timed out. BTW - I am aware that GBAdmin will encrypt the connection. That is an excellent feature which I would use for off net management. I haven't felt compelled to use it yet for local management.
