Eric, pls follow Nathans advice to get something like webconf as you had with weblet and let us know if you still see (security) problems - that's what beta versions are for. There has been a lot of internal discussions, and work by Nathan, to have a minimal webconf behaving like weblet. It starts out of the box different to weblet, to response to the demands for a web-based configuration, raised since LEAF has started once a year, and to give everyone a teaser what's possible - plus it adds a basic web-interface for root-user (expert). But as a "framework" it shall be as restrictive as weblet has been with the minimal setup. kp ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
