good idea. so the administrator can delete some dangerous things in it :)

how can we provide a general "configuration" menu ? (such as netscape) it think we can do a interface like this, but with HTML. To do that, the configuration manager must know any possible configuration option. so i think it's a good idea to make the configuration manager-based. each manager has a seperate entry with some sub-entries.

how can we put/send configration changes maked in a HTML-page back to mnemonic ? must we provide a "little" HTTP server ? i don't know...
