I'm working on putting together a site that can handle existing system management functions as well as allow for easy expansion by people that might not know how the core of the site works. In the process, I've come up with an interesting division of labor and a module.
For now, I'm calling the module ZZZ until I come up with a better name. Feel free to offer suggestions :) The current perldoc for the module is available at http://moya.tamu.edu/~jgsmith/ZZZ.html This should be considered temporary (for purposes of mail archives) and should be available for a week or so. I'm looking for feedback on the feature set of the module as well as the design. I'm hoping to polish the code a bit more over the next week or so and release it with a sample framework. Part of the problem with using existing code is that we (here at TAMU) usually have to do deep modifications due to our data setup -- usernames are not unique in time, for example, and so can't be used to denote ownership of resources. But only usernames are valid for login (accompanied by password, of course). Often, it is easier to write from the ground up than try to twist everything else around it. In the process, I'm trying to get as much code releasable as possible. -- James Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 979-862-3725 Texas A&M CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix
