they have a professional sales department which can cook up any story
you want (probably), and the original poster hasn't, and they also had
more time to actually do it.

Of course, randomly clicking here and there in an easy-to-use Active
Directory tree just does the job nicely. *veg*

Right. We instantly need to revive SMIT & friends which I thought would
already have wandered off into oblivion...

Please don't mistake having a GUI with being easy. You still need some
understanding of the task you want to do. I know serious people who
sell Windows support to big companies who actually say that you can't
really do your job unless you "resort" to write (and use) the Windows
equivalent of Unix shell scripts because the GUI doesn't let you do
things you just need to do.

But if you really think you need such stuff, I recommend that you look
at the (Debian centered) GOsa2 or UCS packages. From the outside, they
look like webmin on steroids, and they actually might do the trick for
you.  It should be possible to adapt them to the requirements of
working on, and with, OpenBSD instead of Debian.

I'm sure there are other packages out there that do a similar job.



Best,
