Hallo Ed, Mohan, Erich, Lynn, Brad,Craig and Charles for your 
rections on the Webbased configuration Thread.

If I may summarize the results 
we "need" an optional webbased configuration package. 

This should be modular, so everybody takes the modules he needs
as a base there should be modules for the standard items .

textbased configuration must still be able. 

It doesn't have to fit on a floppy based firewall.(allthough , if 
somebody has this option it would be fine ;) )

for a more "secure" connection , it could be usefull to tunnel the 
webserver.
----------------------------------------------------
Requirements from my point of view:
- no major change to the distro necessary.  
..........................................................

I hope I didn't cut off someones opinion to much.

A webtool, that allow all those requirements is 
webmin, but the perl package need unpacked 8-9 Mb,
Does someone knows a "miniperl" 
 and the webmin as tar.gz is about 30 Mb.
The last one can be cut, omitting alternative 
languages, alternative operating systems and not 
used servers, but I estimate it will still be 
about 10 Mb  
I tested webmin on a pII bering system and it runs 
acceptable. I don't know how well this functions 
on my 486er router. (not enough ram :( )

Advantage of webmin, there are all kinds of 
modules. Adaption is much easier than building 
from scratch. 

Disadvantage memory and CPU.

Alternatively, use the same fields and write the 
engine in shell.script or php using sh-httpd. or a 
small server (boa, thttpd)

Advantage probably, less memory and cpu consuming.

Disadvantage we have to start from zero, and are 
on our own.

...............
I think any how, this should be a project for a group, who wants to 
contribute.
