In my defense, I did say "that I know of". I guess the people around here never bothered to tell me about that feature. Because of a recent incident where we discovered after-the-fact that we needed to employ a feature that is brand-new to us, I did recently check out all the latest NetScaler documentation (we recently upgraded from 7x to 8.0, although 9.0 and even 9.1 are already out). I can tell you that the documentation has expanded by about 25-50% additional pages, year on year -- All because of the web interface stuff where it takes something like six or seven clicks and drop-down menus and whatever and they have to show you large graphical screen dumps that take up a quarter of the page, to achieve what you can do in a single CLI command. > It doesn't remove your concern about there not being "multiple levels of > user access", although it's generally speaking harder to bone the system > using the GUI than using the CLI. (no typos to get in your way, etc.) I'd be afraid that the GUI would make things too easy for people to use, and therefore much more likely to bone the system as a result of playing around with pointy-clicky things that they don't really understand. But maybe that's just my view. -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> If you like Jazz/R&B guitar, check out LinkedIn Profile: my friend bigsbytracks on YouTube at <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> http://preview.tinyurl.com/bigsbytracks _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
