I have not taken a good look at libconf but looked into something that the guys at clarkconnect.org are doing. They are defining an API that would allow a developer modify conf files thru calls. Their API is limited to their server/firewall but it looks very interesting. Maybe you could take a look at it (and Dams too). I have not looked deep into what they are doing just what they describe at: http://www.clarkconnect.org/devel/api.php Hope this is informative, __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
