Straightforward maybe, but also time consuming. > Actually -- why re-implement a shell at all, why not just create a > simple tool with the commands that are needed? I considered that too, and I think the answer is that managing a HSM might easily require some kind of session, where you log in as an administrator with a certain set of privileges and then perform whatever operations... or??? Otherwise, that might very well be the easiest way to get a simple and yet powerful configuration mechanism. I'll think about it some more. /Fredrik
