I've been talking for a long time about doing a set of admin tools (both
GUI and PTUI driven) that would do exactly this sort of thing. I am
thinking of something along the lines of HPUX's SAM, with some of the
AmigaDOS Installer ideas thrown in.
The incomplete list of Cool Features(TM) I want to implement includes :
- add/delete/change users/groups/etc
- add/remove hardware (i.e. disks, etc)
- GUI disk label and partition software (ala AmigaDOS HDToolBox)
- dotfile configuration
- network and sendmail configuration
- security tasks
- backups
- disk space usage
- realtime GUI resource (disk,mem,net,etc) monitor
Maybe in the next few weeks I'll be able to find the time to think about
this some more.
But, to answer your question: Yes, there is interest in doing this work.
