There was no attachment. It's possible that the list does not allow attachments and it has been stripped. In that case you may send it off-list to my address, we'll look into it. > The patching only concerns > spacing and aligning in the table of logfiles.cgi > and some new space below buttons in other webconf > pages.

Well; the reason is based on the history of the project. It started years ago with no webinterface at all. Even the text-based interface was limited to access the configuration files and backup packages. Later some webpages was added to show some information, but still no configuration (weblet). There has been ongoing discussions about writing a web-interface for configuartion, backup and restarting daemons etc, but for years without any useful result. Until Nathan Angelacos joined in and developed a framework (webconf) which can be extended to nice GUI for LEAF. He provided the "expert" stuff and a few "basic" pages - mainyl as example. Unfortunately the discussions about a GUI stopped almost immediatly... The core crew always concentrated their efforts developing the images, additional packages, writing documentation and coordinating the work donated by developers here and there, but didn't consider a web-based GUI that important. So webconf improved the situation but a web-based GUI has been and still is the unbeloved stepchild of the project. If you or anyone wants to jump in and improve or rework it, every help is highly appreciated. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
