From: lruppert@avalon.syr.edu (Louis Ruppert) Subject: Graphical sysadmin/UNIX tools for Linux Date: Sun, 2 May 1993 19:55:56 EDT
Is there any interest in graphical interfaces for common sysadmin tools like
useradd? Other Unices are including them along with their X packages and it
occurred to me that Linux might need/want something similar. It would at least
take some of the terror away from new users learning UNIX. I had planned to write a graphical X11 program to add/remove/edit users during the summer and wondered if anyone
had a better idea for a project or any other ideas for something for me to tinker
with, since it is looking like I'll be unemployed this summer and will be begging for something to do. If not, does anyone have employment available? :> Ideas? Suggestions? Cash donations? :>
