Hi Folks
I found some time for an old toy project of mine, trying to build a WEB
network configuration interface for Bering. It is still in the early
stages but one problem has materialized. In order to access vital
configuration files either the daemon runs as root or some form of
privilege elevation has to be provided. I chose the second and built
sudo for the current Bering release.
Most webconf configuration tasks right now build just a WEB editor
around the config file which is an invitation to errors.
My interface just handles ethernet for the moment being (well a bit of
pppoe too) and builds the /etc/network/interfaces file from a number of
templates. I am still facing difficulties restarting networking while
connected :-) but it appears that a simple standard set up can be
achieved, so the proof of concept is there.
Is anyone interested in this, if so, I need critics to enhance it.
Thanks
Erich
