I think that is along the lines of my thinking as well.

I won't release anything that is not secured via authentication.
This would cause more problems for the project than what the 
ease of administration would be worth IMHO. In curiousity, being
that you are a little further along with your project, would you mind
checking out "stunnel" for authentication possibility. Someone is
using it, but I haven't researched it (yet). A quick look would indicate
that it could (should) be compiled statically. The dependancies look
huge though.

Well, my thought was to create and CLI config script or menu program
instead of forcing direct edits with CLI. Something similar to the
Install-scripts I was playing with:

Have you had to make any concessions to get the conf files to write
because of permissions? I've been expecting to have problems with the 
UID weblet runs with. If so, I imagine that you could still use the 
weblet's UID with 744 permissions. Any thoughts-experiences???

If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question!
