It is the ui, but not significant work. But I haven't done much gtk, so it took me a while ... UIs should in most cases not have jargon or contractions of words. For example, "Enter your password" seems more proffesional than "Enter your passwd". > > >>2)Add a feature to set smbpasswd, either a new entry in the menu (but >>there isn't space to write a decent entry, since 'set smbpasswd' is not >>the kind of thing a windows user would guess).

I know as much about perl as I do about gtk (ie I can hack, but not much more) ... but debugging segfaults probably ain't so much fun. Plus pixel wants me to rework the diskdrake resize ui ;-). But I would guess a rewrite would probably not make 9.1? And, while rewriting, it might be an idea to look at something like win2k's user manager ... Also, more LDAP support (win2k's AD support for example) would be cool. -- |--------------Another happy Mandrake Club member--------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x121 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7
