Your servlet is typically running as an unprivileged user, but it would need to be root to perform most sysadmin tasks. Either the servlet would need to act as a wrapper to some suid programs or your web server needs to run with root privileges - neither seems particularly desirable. I guess you could have a dedicated web server running as root configured quite tightly to accept only a limited set of requests. I'm not sure how authentication would work though...

Of course those not so nice as Swing, >but more applicable in real life. Um, servlets and swing address completely separate problem domains. They aren't typically interchangeable. If you're really having problems with swing, the only real answer is to stick to the standard AWT. Dave W. -- David Wilkinson http://www.cascade.org.uk/
