Hi Jeff Seem to have missed your other post so I'll just chime in here. I've also written a print server backend/filter for CUPS based on tea4cups [1] that does accounting and IP based access control. We're also using django for all sort of system administration tasks at the university where I work. e.g for managing the CUPS/Samba servers from the django admin, maintaining install profiles for unattended Gentoo linux installations and such. django makes it dead simple to create both web interfaces as well as command line tools. So much nicer then the perlisch tools we used to have. loving it :) Cheers Steven [1] http://www.pykota.com/software/tea4cups --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
