Development platform is on CentOS 5. Although I have used dialog(1) for UI in the past, I am not sure it is up to the UI complexities needed for Bacula configuration files. I was thinking of an application in either perl (which I know better) or python (which has the snack/newt library available). Unfortunately I got pulled off onto another project before I had anything more than a tentative object model for parsing the .conf files. If this is something that would be useful to a lot of people, though, we might be able to bump the priority up again. Our own requirements are fairly limited, though: we would pre-define much of the configuration, and only allow certain specific customisations. Moray. "To err is human.
