We looked at those apps at one point, but decided instead to just write our own user manager / networking setup GUI's. If you grab a copy of PC-BSD 7, it has KDE 4.1.1 in it, with all of our nice user / networking tools, and then you can hack away at the ports if you like :) -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software http://www.pcbsd.com _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
