Hi All,

I am pretty new to LEAF and Bering in particular.

I'm trying to develop a simple web form to configure the Bering
interfaces (i.e. /etc/network/interfaces) file.  Unfortunately I'm not
(yet) an expert at "shell scripting" - especially string handling.

Has anyone developed a simple script that will write a new file
/etc/network/interfaces file from the contents of a simple form?  Let's
just start with a "static" interface for now...I'd like to rewrite the
interface file based on just the following form data:

IP Address: 
Mask Length:
Broadcast Address:

Now the "auto iface <if_name>" and the "iface <if_name> inet <static,
dhcp, ppp>" can be left untouched (for now), so all I need to change is
whatever follows the "address", "masklen", and "broadcast" keywords - if
the if_type is set to "inet static".  I'll soon have a form that will
allow you to select the interface type and will need to implement this
for all types of interfaces.  But for now, to keep things simple, I just
wanted to attempt changing of a static interface ! 

Is this very difficult to do?  Does this make sense?

Any help would be very, very much appreciated!

Thanks all...Steve
