So if I'm configuring say NFS from a YaST web page, what else might I want to see on that page?:
There is already web based *NIX admin tool with webmin, but the IP on the this tool is a little murky. (I think SCO as caldera are involved somewhere here). Developing a web version for Yast might open some legal issues if not handled correctly, and I do not think that a design team would be happy with to develop with the constraint of not moving to close to the webmin model.
- breadcrumbs, to show where I am - links to related items (e.g. DNS config, routing) - links to related tools (e.g. to ping the NFS server, or look at it's exports list) - documentation - either links or javascript controlled blocks or tooltips etc etc - an area showing the history of NFS config changes (by the user and/or automatic system actions) - an area showing recent relevant log entries - a personal notes/wiki area so I can record any information I find useful when I'm doing this task (e.g "use lsof before unmounting" or a link to a web resource I find useful <http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/bofh/>? :)
My god!... I am not really sure 101 ways to defenestrate your boss and related matters is OT...:-) BTW Before the someone misreads this, defenestration has nothing to do with body parts directly, more windows, high places, and falling... :-)
Cheers, Dave
