Hi Folks

testing some of the webconf enabled tools I found that some paths have
changed, particularly traceroute, which used to be a package on it's
own, now it appears to be a busybox applet. It used to be at /usr/sbin,
now it is at /usr/bin. Of course this is a challenge for the webconf
package.

I am not sure if a construct of the form

TRACEROUTE=`which traceroute`
$TRACEROUTE $address

is the best solution for this kind of a problem.

Changes like this may happen any time in any package and are difficult
to detect without proper regression testing. I always was  (and I still
am) in favour of including the relevant webconf files in the
corresponding .lrp packages. This leverages the risk of such glitches,
as the developer, even if he could not care less about the GUI, will kow
best about the changes he made to the underlying software. I would like
you to reconsider the decision taken on this issue a few months ago.

I intend to provide this to openswan in the form of generating an
additional package which can be loaded at the user's discretion,
something like

either

ipsec.lrp, which is the standard package we are used to.
ipsec-wc.lrp, which is the standard package with included web gui.

webconf-1.2 shows how this can be crufted together without pain.

I am of the opinion, the .lwp files should be gotten rid of (Scipio
would have loved this construct :-) )
