Thank you. I'd forgotten all about webmin. I tried using it a while ago
and gave up for some reason. Probably because I discovered YaST :) I'll
give the current version a spin and see whether it's like what I was
suggesting.

OT, the first YaST-like tool I used was SMIT and the
advantages/disadvantages were much the same. When the magic worked, it
was wonderful. When it didn't, it was much harder to figure out what had
gone wrong than if you'd done it with command-line tools. IBM were
trying to replace hundreds of command line tools with a single
interface. But the reality was lots of bugs in the hundreds of little
scripts that implemented the single interface. Oh, well.

Cheers, Dave
